See the entire solution process below:

First, we can rewrite this expression as:

$10^10/10^2$

Next we can use this rule of exponents to simplify this expression:

$x^color(red)(a)/x^color(blue)(b) = x^(color(red)(a)-color(blue)(b))$

$10^color(red)(10)/10^color(blue)(2) = 10^(color(red)(10)-color(blue)(2)) = 10^8 = 100,000,000$
