Question 63039
Question: 


5 to the 6th power divided by 5 to the 12th power.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:

5^6/5^12 = 5^(6-12)


This is because we have the law in exponets, x^m/x^n = x^ ( m-n)


==> 5^6/5^12 = 5^(6-12)

             = 5^ -6

             =  1/5^6  because, x^-n = 1/x^n


Hope you understood the problem.
