Dividing and Negative Exponents Explained

The video tutorial explains how to divide exponents by expressing them in factored form and simplifying fractions. It covers examples with different variables and demonstrates how to handle negative exponents by flipping them into the opposite part of a fraction. The tutorial also provides a complex example involving multiple variables and emphasizes the importance of simplifying expressions by removing negative exponents.
