$$\frac { - 14 c } { 49 c }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{2}{7}\approx -0.285714286$$

Steps for Quotient of Exponentials

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{\left(-14\right)^{1}c^{1}}{49^{1}c^{1}}$$

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

$$\frac{\left(-14\right)^{1}c^{1-1}}{49^{1}}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{\left(-14\right)^{1}c^{0}}{49^{1}}$$

For any number a except 0, a^{0}=1.

$$\frac{\left(-14\right)^{1}}{49^{1}}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-14}{49} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 7.

$$-\frac{2}{7}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{2}{7} = -0.2857142857142857$$
