Understanding Exponents in Division

The video tutorial explains the rules for dividing exponents, starting with like bases and integers, where exponents are subtracted. It then moves to examples with variables, showing how to handle cases without coefficients. Finally, it covers dividing exponents with coefficients, emphasizing the need to divide coefficients and subtract exponents. The tutorial provides multiple examples to illustrate these concepts.
