Recognize the problem: Recognize that the problem involves the division of two expressions with the same base raised to different exponents.
Apply quotient rule for exponents: Apply the quotient rule for exponents, which states that when dividing like bases, you subtract the exponents: am/an=a(m−n).
Subtract the exponents: Subtract the exponents (107)−(51). Since 51 is equivalent to 102, the subtraction is (107)−(102).
Perform the subtraction: Perform the subtraction: (107)−(102)=105.
Simplify the result: Simplify 105 to its lowest terms, which is 21.
Apply the simplified exponent: Apply the simplified exponent to the base: 641/2.
Recognize the base: Recognize that 641/2 is the square root of 64.
Calculate the square root: Calculate the square root of 64, which is 8.
