In the division rule you subtract the exponents<span> when </span>dividing<span> numbers with the same base. </span>One<span> rule for exponents is that exponents add when you have the same base. This works for any number x that you want to plug in except for x = </span>0<span>,because </span>0/0<span> is indeterminate (it is like dividing </span>zero<span> by </span>zero<span>). No matter what number we use when it is raised to the </span>zero power<span> it will always be </span>1.
