...quantity as when multiplied by a3 will produce a3. That quantity is evidently a2. Hence, The exponent of a letter in the quotient is equal to its exponent in the dividend diminished by its exponent in the divisor. Or, in general, am -=- a" = am~n. 94. If we apply the rule...

...principles already established. (Art. i28.) That is, The quotient will have the sign —, with an exponent equal to its exponent in the dividend minus its exponent in the divisor. Take the following example : , quotient. SOLUTION. — Cancelling or removing the factors of this divisor...
