State

The zero exponent rule of exponents states that any nonzero base raised to the zero power equals 1: a⁰ = 1.

Show

5³ / 5³ subtracts exponents to 5⁰ — and a number divided by itself is 1. The rule keeps the quotient rule honest.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
