To use the quotient rule for exponents, we know that:

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

Given the equation:

\[
\frac{h^{450}}{h^{?}} = h^{250}
\]

We apply the quotient rule:

\[
h^{450 - ?} = h^{250}
\]

Since the bases are the same (both are \(h\)), we can set the exponents equal to each other:

\[
450 - ? = 250
\]

Now, solving for \(?\):

\[
450 - 250 = ?
\]

\[
? = 200
\]

Thus, the missing exponent is:

\[
\boxed{200}
\]
