I think you are taking this problem too complicated.

whenever you see this equation the first thing you must do is simplify the base numbers

if you look at the base numbers they are all powers of 3

so therefore for 9 it is 3^2 so therefore 3^2(3k)

the second step is the 27. 27 is 3^3. so therefore 3^3(3k-1)

since the 3 is already 3 you can leave that alone

for 81 it is 3^4 therefore 3^4(4k)

which finally gives us the equation (3^6k)(3^(9k-3))(3^k) divided by (3^16k)

now that we got all the base numbers to the same number which is 3 simplifying is now very simple

you remove all 3s and simplify as you normally would

therefore

(6k)(9k-3)(k) divided by (16k)

which leaves us with

6k^2(9k-3) divided by 16k

3k(9k-3) divided by 8

^ simplest form
