13a.) If you're dividing and the base (in this case the base is 10) is the same, subtract the exponents.

{10}^(7) / {10}^(5) = {10}^(7 - 5) = {10}^(2)
13b.) If you're multiplying and the base is the same, then you add the exponents:


{s}^(2) * {s}^(3) * s = {s}^(2 + 3 + 1) = {s}^(6)
13c.) This is similar to 13b:


{6}^(4) * {6}^(3) * 6 = {6}^(4 + 3 + 1) = {6}^(8)
