Make sure that the bases are the same. To multiply - add the exponents and multiply the coefficients - and to divide - subtract the exponents and divide the coefficients - 3x^25x^3=15x^5 and 15x^6/3x^2=5x^4
When a number can be divided evenly by another number - it is said to be divisible by that number. So 6 is divisble by 3 - but is not divisible by 4. The GMAT - however is more likely to ask you whether 728 is divisible by 4. ( Yes it is)

Describes integers listed in ascending order - which are separated by the same interval. The numbers 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 are consective integers and the numbers 2 - 4 - 6 -8 are consecutive even integers.
The result of multiplying any number by any other number. The numbers 8 - 16 - and 424 are all multiples of 4.


5. Negative exponents
When you see this just turn the base into a fraction by putting a 1 over it and proceed as you would with a nonnegative exponent so 3^-2=(1/3)^2=1/9
Number is a whole number that - when divided by two yields a remainder of 1. these numbers end in 1 - 3 -5 -7 - or 9.
