Solution - Power equations

Step  1  :

 1.1     12 = 22•3

(12)¹⁷ = (2²•3)¹⁷ = 2³⁴ • 3¹⁷

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

            (234•317) 
 Simplify   —————————
               12    

Dividing exponents :

 2.1    2³⁴   divided by   2²   = 2^{(34 - 2)} = 2³²

Dividing exponents :

 2.2    3¹⁷   divided by   3¹   = 3^{(17 - 1)} = 3¹⁶

Final result :

  (232•316)
