Step 4.1.1

Move $\frac{3}{2}$ .

$u^{2} v^{4} \frac{3}{2} - \frac{5}{2} \cdot u^{3} v^{5} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot u^{4} v^{2}$

Step 4.1.2

Move $\frac{5}{2}$ .

$u^{2} v^{4} \frac{3}{2} - 1 \cdot u^{3} v^{5} \frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot u^{4} v^{2}$

Step 4.1.3

Move $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$u^{2} v^{4} \frac{3}{2} - 1 \cdot u^{3} v^{5} \frac{5}{2} + u^{4} v^{2} \frac{1}{2}$

Step 4.1.4

Move $u^{2} v^{4} \frac{3}{2}$ .

$- 1 \cdot u^{3} v^{5} \frac{5}{2} + u^{4} v^{2} \frac{1}{2} + u^{2} v^{4} \frac{3}{2}$

Step 4.2

Factor $- u^{2} v^{2}$ out of $- 1 \cdot u^{3} v^{5} \frac{5}{2}$ .

$- u^{2} v^{2} (u v^{3} \frac{5}{2}) + u^{4} v^{2} \frac{1}{2} + u^{2} v^{4} \frac{3}{2}$

Step 4.3

Factor $- u^{2} v^{2}$ out of $u^{4} v^{2} \frac{1}{2}$ .

$- u^{2} v^{2} (u v^{3} \frac{5}{2}) - u^{2} v^{2} (- u^{2} \frac{1}{2}) + u^{2} v^{4} \frac{3}{2}$

Step 4.4

Factor $- u^{2} v^{2}$ out of $u^{2} v^{4} \frac{3}{2}$ .

$- u^{2} v^{2} (u v^{3} \frac{5}{2}) - u^{2} v^{2} (- u^{2} \frac{1}{2}) - u^{2} v^{2} (- 1 v^{2} \frac{3}{2})$

Step 4.5

Factor $- u^{2} v^{2}$ out of $- u^{2} v^{2} (u v^{3} \frac{5}{2}) - u^{2} v^{2} (- u^{2} \frac{1}{2})$ .
