It looks like you are asking about the expression:

$\frac{ab + 4}{ab + a}$

Is that correct? If so, here’s what we can do with this expression.

1. Simplification: We can try to simplify the expression, but as it stands, the numerator $ab + 4$ and the denominator $ab + a$ do not have any obvious common factors. Therefore, the expression cannot be simplified further.

2. Factorization: However, we can factor the denominator $ab + a$ as:

   $ab + a = a(b + 1)$

   So, the expression becomes:

   $\frac{ab + 4}{a(b + 1)}$

   Unfortunately, since $ab + 4$ doesn't have an $a(b + 1)$ factor, no further simplification is possible.
