Question

simplify. express your answer as a single term using exponents.\\(\frac{602^{8}}{602^{6}}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the exponent rule for division

When dividing two numbers with the same base, we subtract the exponents: $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}$ (where $a
eq0$).
Here, the base $a = 602$, $m = 8$, and $n = 6$.

Step2: Apply the exponent rule

Subtract the exponents: $8-6 = 2$.
So, $\frac{602^{8}}{602^{6}}=602^{8 - 6}=602^{2}$.

Answer:

$602^{2}$
