To simplify the expression (a^3/a), we can use the property of exponents that states: when dividing two terms with the same base, we subtract their exponents.
In this case, the base is "a", and the exponents are 3 and 1. Applying the property, we subtract the exponents: 3 - 1 = 2.
Therefore, the exponent when (a^3/a) is simplified is 2.
