The correct steps to follow to simplify an exponential expression using the Quotient Rule of Integer Exponents are:
Check if the bases are the same; if they are, subtract the exponents of the numerator and denominator (leave as-is otherwise); and write the resulting expression in exponential form.
This response accurately describes the procedure for applying the Quotient Rule, which states that for any base \( a \) (where \( a \) is not zero), \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \).
