A square floor of 2⁶ tiles is cut along the orange dashed lines into 2² equal parts, and one part is lifted out. Which division of powers does the picture show?

Question

Accepted Answer

2⁶ ÷ 2² = 2⁴. One part has 2^6 ÷ 2^2 tiles. With the same base we subtract the exponents: 2^6-2 = 2^4 = 16 tiles, which matches the 4 by 4 piece.

A square floor of $2^{6}$ tiles is cut along the orange dashed lines into $2^{2}$ equal parts, and one part is lifted out. Which division of powers does the picture show?
