Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\frac{6^{8}}{6^{6}}$

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:

$\frac{A^{x}}{A^{y}} = A^{x - y}$

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

$\frac{6^{8}}{6^{6}} =6^{8 - 6} = 6^{2} = 36$
