When dividing numbers (or variables) subtract the exponents. Remember, an exponent indicates a kind of multiplication, it is the number of times that a number is multiplied by itself. If you are dividing by that same number, then clearly you are multiplying it by itself a fewer number of times. Division is the inverse function of multiplication.

How do you add a fraction with variables?
You can not add (or subtract) numbers, or in this case fractions, with variables unless both numbers contain the same variable. Here is an example: You can not add 1/2 + x because the fraction does not contain the variable 'x' This equation however is possible to solve: 1/2x + x because both numbers contain the variable 'x' But don't get tricked It is impossible to add or subtract numbers with different variables, as each variable has a different value Example: 1/2x + 1/2y
