Reduce the rational expression to lowest terms. If it is already in lowest terms, enter the expression in the answer box. Also, specify any restrictions on the variable.

What you typed is not a rational expression, to have one I expect to see a fraction.

6a^4+162a/3a^4-9a^3+27a^2
6a^3*a+6*27a/3a^4-9a^3+27a^2
6a(a^3+27)/3a^4-9a^3+27a^2=
6a(a^3+27)/a^2(3a^2-9a+27)
6a^3*a+6*27a/3a^4-9a^3+27a^2
6a(a^3+27)/3a^4-9a^3+27a^2=
6a(a^3+27)/a^2(3a^2-9a+27)

I think you mean
6a(a^3+27)/(a^2(3a^2-9a+27)) or else only the a^2 is divided
= 6a(a^3+27)/(3a^2(a^2-3a+9))
= 6a(a+3)(a^2-3a+9) / (3a^2(a^2-3a+9))
= 6a(a+3) / (3a^2)
= 2(a+3)/a , a ≠ 0
6a(a^3+27)/(a^2(3a^2-9a+27)) or else only the a^2 is divided
= 6a(a^3+27)/(3a^2(a^2-3a+9))
= 6a(a+3)(a^2-3a+9) / (3a^2(a^2-3a+9))
= 6a(a+3) / (3a^2)
= 2(a+3)/a , a ≠ 0
