the base and the laws of exponent
You subtract the exponent of the denominator from that of the numerator.
When dividing numbers with exponents, subtract the bottom exponent from the top exponent.

There is only one law for exponents in division, and that is 1/ax = a-x
the base and the laws of exponent
You subtract the exponent of the denominator from that of the numerator.
When dividing numbers with exponents, subtract the bottom exponent from the top exponent.
Subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend. Ax / Ay = A(x-y)
A negative exponent indicates division by the base. For example: 8 -3 = 1/(83)= 1/672
Because it is derived so easily from simple multiplication and division of variables. It is so very intuitive. Multiply x by x and you have x2 do it again and it's cubed etc.

The components are the bases and the indices (powers).
Parenthesis Exponent Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction PEMDAS ( the multiplication and division is based on which of them comes FIRST )
If the bases are the same then for division subtract the exponents to find the quotient
