Fill in the Blank

A logistics coordinator is using a spreadsheet model to calculate packaging efficiency, which involves simplifying the algebraic expression (2x6y8)(5x5y3)(2x^{-6}y^8)(-5x^5y^{-3}). After grouping like terms, multiplying the coefficients, and adding the exponents, the coordinator arrives at an intermediate result of 10x1y5-10x^{-1}y^5. To express the final answer with only positive exponents, the x1x^{-1} term must be relocated to the ________ of the fraction.
