to use integers for certain problems and equation on math, i can also use it for future use in life in case i need it, Its very helpful to learn since it isnt that complicated nor hard, its just a good skill to keep in mind as a student.
Ok so you have 4, x^6 / 2, x^4. Now divide the coefficient so 4/2=2. So 2 x^6/x^4, now subtract the numerator by the denominator so x^6-x^4=x^2 so now you have 2x^2
