12 to the power of 87 divide3d by 12 to the power of 25

1 answer

To simplify \( \frac{12^{87}}{12^{25}} \), you can use the rule of exponents which states that \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \).

Applying this rule here:

\[ \frac{12^{87}}{12^{25}} = 12^{87 - 25} = 12^{62} \]

So, \( \frac{12^{87}}{12^{25}} = 12^{62} \).
