The quotient rule of integer exponents states that when dividing two variables with the same base but different exponents, the exponents should be subtracted from each other. Mathematically, for any positive integer a, and any integers m and n, the quotient of a^m divided by a^n is equal to a^(m-n).
In equation form, (a^m) / (a^n) = a^(m-n)
