The non-permissible values for this expression occur when the denominator is equal to 0, since division by 0 is undefined.
To simplify the expression, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the highest common factor of the variables in each term.
4x^2y^3 / 16x^3y
The highest common factor of 4 and 16 is 4, and the highest common factor of x^2 and x^3 is x^2. Similarly, the highest common factor of y^3 and y is y.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4x^2y, we get:
(4x^2y^3) / (16x^3y) = (4/4)(x^2/x^3)(y^3/y)
Simplifying each term, we have:
1 * (1/x)(y^2) = y^2 / x
