Dividing Exponents

When you divide exponents with the same base. You subtract. So in this case, you subtract 7 by 2, (being exponents). The same base is 8. So your subtracting
8^7 by
8^2. Which will get you
8^5.

Dividing Whole Numbers.

You are going to divide whole numbers. Its pretty self explanatory but I will do the math for you anyways.

64 goes into 2097152, 32768 times. Or we can say,

2097152 divided by 64 = 32768.

So the answer is 32768, or
8^5.
