Bot GPT 3.5 1. Start by applying the rule of exponents that states when dividing numbers with the same base, you subtract the exponents.
2. In this case, the expression 19^8 / 19^5 can be simplified to 19^(8-5).
3. Subtract the exponents: 8 - 5 = 3.
4. Therefore, the expression simplifies to 19^3.
5. Calculate 19^3 by multiplying 19 by itself 3 times: 19 * 19 * 19 = 6,859.
6. Therefore, 19^8 / 19^5 is equal to 6,859.
