Solve 69mn/-23mn

$$\frac { 69 m n } { - 23 m n }$$

Evaluate

$$-3$$

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{69^{1}m^{1}n^{1}}{\left(-23\right)^{1}m^{1}n^{1}}$$

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

$$\frac{69^{1}}{\left(-23\right)^{1}}m^{1-1}n^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{69^{1}}{\left(-23\right)^{1}}m^{0}n^{1-1}$$

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

$$\frac{69^{1}}{\left(-23\right)^{1}}n^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{69^{1}}{\left(-23\right)^{1}}n^{0}$$

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

$$\frac{69^{1}}{\left(-23\right)^{1}}$$

Divide 69 by -23.
