Explain how the quotient of powers was used to simplify this expression. 2 to the fifth power, over 8 = 22 by finding the quotient of the bases to be one fourth, and cancelling common factors by finding the quotient of the bases to be one fourth, and simplifying the expression by simplifying 8 to 23 to make both powers base two, and subtracting the exponents by simplifying 8 to 23 to make both powers base two, and adding the exponents
