Simplify (1/x)/x

$\frac{(\frac{1}{x})}{x}$

Step 1

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$\frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x}$

Step 2

Multiply $\frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x}$ .

Multiply $\frac{1}{x}$ by $\frac{1}{x}$ .

$\frac{1}{x \cdot x}$

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{1}{x^{1} x}$

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{1}{x^{1} x^{1}}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{1}{x^{1 + 1}}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{1}{x^{2}}$
