Question 647322
Let's think about it this way:



{{{x^8}}} is the same as x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x

{{{x^2}}} is the same as x * x



Now let's divide:

{{{x^8/x^2}}} = {{{(x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x)/(x * x)}}}



Cancel out the common x's to get:

{{{x^8/x^2}}} = x * x * x * x * x * x  = {{{x^6}}}



This is the quotient rule: {{{x^m/x^n}}} = {{{x^(m-n)}}}
