The quotient of the two fractions.
When you divide powers having the same base, subtract the numerator from the denomenator. Put the base in the part of the fraction where the original exponent was larger.
Because it's a fraction
-- Ignore the signs. -- Divide the first fraction by the second fraction, then decide whether the answer is positive or negative. -- If both numbers in a division have the same sign, then the quotient is positive. So the quotient is positive, and you're done.
Invert the fraction and multiply.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
