Index Laws for Multiplying and Dividing Theory

when multiplying terms with the same base then the powers are added $$ a^m \times a^n=a^{m+n} $$ When dividing terms with the same base then the powers are subtracted. $$ a^m \div a^n=a^{m-n} $$ \begin{multicols}{2}  \textbf{Example 1}\\ Simplify \(3 x^4 \times 2 x^3\)\\  \textbf{Example 1 solution}\\ \(\begin{aligned} 3 x^4 \times 2 x^3 & =(3 \times 2) \times x^4 \times x^3 \\ & =6 x^{4+3} \\ & =6 x^7 \end{aligned}\)  \columnbreak \textbf{Example 2}\\ Simplify \(12 p^6 \div 4 p\)\\  \textbf{Example 2 solution}\\ \(\begin{aligned} 12 p^6 \div 4 p & =(12 \div 4) \times p^6 \div p^1 \\ & =3 p^{6-1} \\ & =3 p^5 \end{aligned}\) \end{multicols}
