To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{3z^6}{8z^3} \)
\( \frac{3}{8} \) z^{(6 - 3)}
\(\frac{3}{8}\)z³

A number with an exponent (b^e) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b¹ = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b⁰ = 1).

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{17 + 9 + 14 + 12}{4} \) = \( \frac{52}{4} \) = 13

The factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80] and the factors of 16 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16]. They share 5 factors [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] making 16 the greatest factor 80 and 16 have in common.
