Excel Formula to Calculate the Power of a Quotient

Formula

To calculate the power of the quotient of 8 and 7 raised to the 9th power, you can use the following Excel formula:

=(8/7)^9

Explanation

• Quotient Calculation:

  • 8/7 calculates the quotient of 8 and 7.

• Exponentiation:

  • ^9 raises the result of the quotient to the power of 9.

Breakdown of Components:

1. Arithmetic Division (/):

   • The division operator (/) calculates how many times 7 fits into 8.

2. Exponentiation Operator (^):

   • The exponentiation operator (^) applies the power to the quotient, multiplying the quotient by itself 9 times.

Practical Example

Assuming you placed the result of the formula in cell A1, you should input the following:

1. Go to cell A1.
2. Type: =(8/7)^9
3. Press Enter.

Expected Result

• The formula will yield a numeric result that is the value of (8/7) raised to the 9th power.
