Question

6 to power 8 / 6 to power of 6 equals what does the slash mean. How do I calculate

Answer 1

Explanation:

From your problem statement, I believe the equation will look like this:

`(6^(8))/(6^(6))`

The slash means "divided by" -- you should use division to solve this equation.

For division involving exponents with the same base, you can use the following rule:

`(A^(x))/(A^(y)) = A^(x - y)`

Subtituting
`6` for
`A`,
`8` for
`x` and
`6` for
`y`, we get the following:

`(6^(8))/(6^(6)) =6^(8 - 6) = 6^(2) = 36`
