Algebraic Property Documentation for Custom Logistics Software

You are a junior data analyst at a logistics firm, and you are creating an onboarding guide for the company's proprietary volume-calculation tool. The tool simplifies monomial products to optimize database storage.

To help new hires understand the mathematical foundations of the tool, write a brief technical explanation (essay) that details how the expression (25a4b3)(15ab3)\left(\frac{2}{5}a^4b^3\right)\left(15ab^3\right) is simplified. In your explanation, you must explicitly recall and state:

  1. The specific algebraic property used to rearrange and group the numerical coefficients and like variables.
  2. The specific exponent property used when multiplying variables with the same base.
  3. The step-by-step execution showing how these properties are applied to arrive at the simplified product, including the final simplified expression.
