Simplify (p^0)/p

$\frac{p^{0}}{p}$

Step 1

Move $p^{0}$ to the denominator using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{p \cdot p^{0}}$

Step 2

Simplify the denominator.

Multiply $p$ by $p^{0}$ by adding the exponents.

Multiply $p$ by $p^{0}$ .

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

$\frac{1}{p^{1} p^{0}}$

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

$\frac{1}{p^{1 + 0}}$

Add $1$ and $0$ .

$\frac{1}{p^{1}}$

Simplify $p^{1}$ .

$\frac{1}{p}$
