DIVISION OF EXPONENTIAL NUMBERS





If k and t are numbers, then

xk / xt = xk-t



When an exponential number is divided by another exponential number having the same base, their exponents are subtracted.

Example:

35/ 34 = 35-4 = 31



It is important to note that the two exponential numbers to be divided should have the same base.

Example:

26 / 42 = 26 / (22)2 = 26/ 24 = 26-4 = 22
