Quotient Rule - Dividing with Exponents - YourTeacher.com

For a complete lesson on the quotient rule, go to http://www.yourteacher.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn the quotient rule, which states that when dividing two powers that have the same base, subtract the exponents. For example, (x^9)/(x^5) = x^4. To divide (8d^5)/(4d^3), divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents, to get 2d^2.

@NainaiJustNai You mean if the bottom number is larger than the top number? Then the number would be a fraction.
