Answer

$$a^{3}$$

Work Step by Step

To multiply powers of the same base, add the exponents: $$\frac{(2a^{4})(3a^{2})}{6a^{3}}=\frac{2\times a^{4}\times 3\times a^{2}}{6a^{3}}=\frac{2\times 3\times a^{4+2}}{6a^{3}}=\frac{6a^{6}}{6a^{3}}.$$ To divide powers of the same base, subtract the exponents: $$a^{6-3}=a^{3}.$$
