9r%5E5u%2Fm%5E6divided by%283r%5E3m%5E2%29
Multiplying the same base, you add exponents.
Dividing the same base, you subtract exponents.
9r%5E5u%2Fm%5E6%2F%283r%5E3m%5E2%29=3r%5E%285-3%29u%2Fm%5E%286%2B2%29=3r%5E2u%2Fm%5E8

When you multiply, add exponents.
When dividing, subtract exponents.
%289r%5E5u%29%2F%28m%5E6%2A3r%5E3m%5E2%29%29
%289r%5E5u%29%2F%28m%5E8%2A3r%5E3%29%29 add the m exponents
%283r%5E2u%29%2F%28m%5E8%29%29 divide 3 into 9 and subtract the r exponents.
