Answer:

  a^2b^5

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything divided by itself is 1.

That is, anything multiplied by its reciprocal is 1. This value (the reciprocal of the expression) is called the "multiplicative inverse." Its value is that the product of an expression and its multiplicative inverse is 1, the multiplicative identity element. (Anything times 1 is itself.)

So, to get 1 as a product, multiply by 1/(a^2b^5), which is to say, divide by a^2b^5 to get 1 as a quotient.
