To simplify the expression \( \frac{13^{12}}{13^{-10}} \), you can use the properties of exponents. According to the laws of exponents, when you divide two expressions with the same base, you subtract the exponents:

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

Applying this to your expression:

\[ \frac{13^{12}}{13^{-10}} = 13^{12 - (-10)} = 13^{12 + 10} = 13^{22} \]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[ \boxed{13^{22}} \]
