We are asked to evaluate the expression $(-2)^4 \div (-2)^3$.

1. Problem Description

We are asked to evaluate the expression $(-2)^4 \div (-2)^3$.

2. Solution Steps

We can use the exponent rule $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$.

Thus, we have:

$(-2)^4 \div (-2)^3 = \frac{(-2)^4}{(-2)^3}$

Applying the exponent rule:

$\frac{(-2)^4}{(-2)^3} = (-2)^{4-3}$

$(-2)^{4-3} = (-2)^1$

$(-2)^1 = -2$

3. Final Answer

-2
