Question

Prove divisibility 45^45·15^15 by 75^30

Answer 1

Answer:

$3^{75}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to divide our given fraction: $\frac{45^{45}*15^{15}}{75^{30}}$.

We will simplify our division problem using rules of exponents.

Using product rule of exponents $(a*b)^n=a^n*b^n$ we can write:

$45^{45}=(3*15)^{45}=3^{45}*15^{45}$

$75^{30}=(5*15)^{30}=5^{30}*15^{30}$

Substituting these values in our division problem we will get,

$\frac{3^{45}*15^{45}*15^{15}}{5^{30}*15^{30}}$

Using power rule of exponents $a^m*a^n=a^{m+n}$ we will get,

$\frac{3^{45}*15^{45+15}}{5^{30}*15^{30}}$

$\frac{3^{45}*15^{60}}{5^{30}*15^{30}}$

Using quotient rule of exponent $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$ we will get,

$\frac{3^{45}*15^{60-30}}{5^{30}}$

$\frac{3^{45}*15^{30}}{5^{30}}$

Using product rule of exponents $(a*b)^n=a^n*b^n$ we will get,

$\frac{3^{45}*(3*5)^{30}}{5^{30}}$

$\frac{3^{45}*3^{30}*5^{30}}{5^{30}}$

Upon canceling out $5^{30}$ we will get,

$3^{45}*3^{30}$

Using power rule of exponents $a^m*a^n=a^{m+n}$ we will get,

$3^{45+30}$

$3^{75}$

Therefore, our resulting quotient will be $3^{75}$.
