@tennisboi1197

With division, consider the variable x. If the x in the numerator has a larger exponent than the denominator, then the answer will involve x in the numerator with the difference.

If the x in the denominator has the larger exponent, then the answer will involve the x in the denominator with the difference.

[tennisboi1197]

o wait the larger one wins and becomes the one on the top in the subtraction problem?

[tennisboi1197]

so the larger one wins ang becomes the numerator right?
