Enter positive base.
Enter numerator exponent.
Enter denominator exponent.

Formula

b^m / b^n=b^(m−n).
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Integer exponents, strictly positive base. Results outside finite nonzero floating-point range are rejected.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Positive base: 2
  • Numerator exponent: 7
  • Denominator exponent: 3

Positive base = 2; Numerator exponent = 7; Denominator exponent = 3. Primary result: 16.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter positive base, numerator exponent, denominator exponent. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

b^m / b^n=b^(m−n).. Integer exponents, strictly positive base. Results outside finite nonzero floating-point range are rejected.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
