Question

2 multiple choice 4 points simplify \\(\frac{12^{16}}{12^{4}}\\) \\(12^12\\) \\(1^4\\) \\(1^12\\) \\(12^4\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Apply exponent division rule

For $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$, here $a=12$, $m=16$, $n=4$
$\frac{12^{16}}{12^4}=12^{16-4}$

Step2: Calculate the exponent

$16-4=12$, so $12^{16-4}=12^{12}$

Answer:

12^12
