To simplify \( \frac{2365}{2332} \) using the Quotient Rule of Integer Exponents, we first express the two numbers in terms of powers of 23, if possible.
Let's rewrite the numbers:
- \( 2365 = 23^{33} \times a \) (for some integer \( a \))
- \( 2332 = 23^{32} \times b \) (for some integer \( b \))
Now, apply the Quotient Rule:
\[
\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}
\]
Substituting our values:
\[
\frac{2365}{2332} = \frac{23^{33}}{23^{32}} = 23^{33-32} = 23^1 = 23
\]
Thus, the simplification results in:
\[
2365 ÷ 2332 = 23
\]
This matches one of the options given which is \( 23^1 = 23 \).
So, the simplified result is:
**23**
