W only if W does not equal zero, if W = 0 then it is undefined

in dividing numbers or terms with exponents, simply subtract their exponents (this can be done if they have the same bases).
so, w squared divided by w is equal to w raised to 2-1, the answer would be w.

it is understood that the exponent of a number or expression is one unless specified.
