<p>An exponent shows how many times a variable or number is multiplied by itself. For example, 54 means 5 raised to the power of 4, or 5 × 5 × 5 × 5. When working with exponential terms that have the same base, we add the exponents when multiplying and subtract the exponents when dividing. In this article, we will learn about multiplying and dividing exponential terms in more detail.</p>

<h3>1.What should we do when multiplying exponents with the same base?</h3>
133
<p>To multiply exponents with the same base, we add only the exponents. For example: \( a^3 \times a^4 = a^{3+4} = a^7 \). </p>

<h3>2.How can we divide exponents with the same base?</h3>
135
<p>We can divide exponents with the same base simply by subtracting the exponents. For example, \( \frac{a^7}{a^2} = a^{7-2} = a^5 \). </p>
