When dividing two numbers written in exponential notation, what do you do with the exponents of 10?

add
subtract
multiply

I flat out do not know, can somebody please tell me what it is and why?

Choose the website that is easiest for you to understand.
say (2 *10^5) / (1*10^3)

that is
(2/1) (10^5/10^3)

= 2 * 10^(5-3) <<<---important

= 2 * 10^2

================
check
2* 100000 /1000 = 2 * 100 :)
a^n /a^m

= a^(n-m)
Okay, thank you both!!:)
