You want to multiply 3 so that the power of 3 becomes 3. You want to divide by 2 so that the power of 2 becomes 3.

Oh so u can really do that. May I ask if this is a formula we must memorise or like is there a reason why we can do it this way?

There's no formula. You need to note that p and q are prime numbers so you can't divide by 9 for eg, to remove the 3 totally.

Remember the perfect squares have powers that can be divided by 2 and perfect cubes have powers that can be divided by 3.
