2^18 / 2^? = 2^8

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To solve for the missing value in the equation

\[
\frac{2^{18}}{2^{?}} = 2^{8},
\]

we can use the properties of exponents. Specifically, we know that

\[
\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}.
\]

Applying this property to our equation gives us:

\[
2^{18 - ?} = 2^{8}.
\]

Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other:

\[
18 - ? = 8.
\]

To find the value of \( ? \), we can rearrange the equation:

\[
? = 18 - 8.
\]

Calculating the right-hand side:

\[
? = 10.
\]

Thus, the missing value is

\[
\boxed{10}.
\]
