    Do I have to only divide the exponents?

    No, when you divide with exponents, you subtract the exponents. It's the opposite from multiplication, how you add the exponents. When it comes to divide exponents, you subtract the exponents.

    Anon has it wrong
9^12 รท9^3
= 9^9 , which is rather large
To divide powers with the same base, <b>keep the base</b> and subtract the exponents.
