$\frac{4 v^{2} - 1}{4 v^{4} - v^{2}}$ $(4v^2-1)/(4v^4-v^2)$

Explanation:

First, we write the division in fraction form (notice: you don't have to do this if you're familiar with division by two fractions):
$\frac{\frac{2 v + 5}{4 v^{4} - v^{2}}}{\frac{2 v + 5}{4 v^{2} - 1}}$ $((2v+5)/(4v^4-v^2))/((2v+5)/(4v^2-1))$

Simplify:
$\frac{\frac{2 v + 5}{4 v^{4} - v^{2}}}{\frac{2 v + 5}{4 v^{2} - 1}}$ $((2v+5)/(4v^4-v^2))/((2v+5)/(4v^2-1))$ = $\frac{(4 v^{2} - 1) (2 v + 5)}{(4 v^{4} - v^{2}) (2 v + 5)}$ $((4v^2-1)(2v+5))/((4v^4-v^2)(2v+5))$

Cancel out like terms:
$\frac{\frac{2 v + 5}{4 v^{4} - v^{2}}}{\frac{2 v + 5}{4 v^{2} - 1}}$ $((2v+5)/(4v^4-v^2))/((2v+5)/(4v^2-1))$ = $((4v^2-1)cancel((2v+5)))/((4v^4-v^2)cancel((2v+5)))$

And you get $(4v^2-1)/(4v^4-v^2)$
