Assuming you mean x^3 y^4 / (x^2 y^7), it's x/y^3.
Note that you should ALWAYS use parentheses to limit a denominator that may consist of several terms, to make it clear just where the division sign operator ' / ' STOPS operating. That might also help as a visual aid to remind you in cases like this that yes, the y^4 in the numerator IS to be divided by the y^7 in the denominator. That small nudge from a clearer notation might have helped you to realize that the exponent of y would have to be - 3, not + 3.
Best of luck in future.
Live long and prosper.
P.S. I like the word "implify." I take it it means "find the implied simplification."
