How do you divide exponets?

Answer 1

Answer: Exponents are numbers that are multiplied by itself that. Example: 2 to the power of 2( 22) means: 2 x 2,which equals 4. ( the exponet of 2 is squared-you call it squared ONLY if the original number has the exponet of 2...and an exponet of 3 is cubed.like 23) or 9 to the power of 5 (or 9 with an exponet of 5, means:95 or 9x 9 x 9x 9x 9,(five 9's.)which equals=59,049. NOT to be confused with 9 x 5,which equals= 45. (See the difference? You can use your scientific calculator to check it!) So , you name your exponet by writing the number to be exponeted ,like number 9 in the example above, with a smaller 5 above and to the right of the original 9,that small number IS the EXPONET.So 9 with an exponet of 5the smaller number to the right is 5 and it IS the EXPONET and is ,written 95 .

Answer 2

You divide exponents by simply subtracting the exponents. You multiply exponents by adding them together. You can test your answers by doing long math.
