When you divide like bases, you subtract their exponents.

Anything with a negative exponent goes into the denominator:

Another way to do it is this:
divided by Flip the last term over and multiply:

subtract the smaller exponents of like bases and cancel.

Hope that clears things up!
Happy Calculating!!!
