x is the base and n is the exponent or power. Definition: If x is a positive number and n is its exponent, then xn means x is multiplied by itself n times.
<span>42:6=7, the dividend is 42, the quotient is 7 so 42= 6x7 8:1=8, 8=8x1 12= 1x12 generalization let be a:b=q, so a = bx q, a dividend, q quotient and b the divisor</span>
