"To the power of" (powers in division have to be subtracted)

[PeroK]

81 to the power of 3 divided by 81 to the power of 2 for me is 81 to the power of 1 , the answer is 3 to the power of 4

What's the difference between $81$ and $3^4$?

nothing but I understand it now that you asked it .so you have to dissolve indices and then create it again for the answer? what about when they have different bases like 64² diveded by 16³ ? my result was 4^-1

An answer of $81$ is just as good as an answer of $3^4$.

No.
$$\frac {64^2}{16^3} = \frac {4^2 16^2}{16^3} \ne \frac 1 4$$

It would be good for you to learn and memorize the basic properties of exponents such as
$(ab)^n = a^nb^n$
$a^ma^n = a^{m + n}$
$\frac {a^m}{a^n} = a^{m - n}$
There are a few more.
