36x ^ { 4} y ^ { 10} \cdot - 3x ^ { 2} y ^ { 2}=-108x^{6}y^{12}36x4y10⋅−3x2y2=−108x6y12
You multiply each thing with the same thing... Let me explain...

Explanation:

Because there is only multiplications:
36x ^ { 4} y ^ { 10} \cdot - 3x ^ { 2} y ^ { 2}= 36*x ^ { 4} *y ^ { 10} \cdot - 3*x ^ { 2}* y ^ { 2}36x4y10⋅−3x2y2=36⋅x4⋅y10⋅−3⋅x2⋅y2

You can rewrite how ever you want the equation. For this case you want to do this:
36*x ^ { 4} *y ^ { 10} \cdot - 3*x ^ { 2}* y ^ { 2} = (36*-3)(x^{4}*x^{2})(y^{10}*y^{2})36⋅x4⋅y10⋅−3⋅x2⋅y2=(36⋅−3)(x4⋅x2)(y10⋅y2)

Now you can multiply each parenthesis:
(36*-3)(x^{4}*x^{2})(y^{10}*y^{2})= -108x^{6}y^{12}(36⋅−3)(x4⋅x2)(y10⋅y2)=−108x6y12

Done!
