We need to evaluate the expression $(-2)^4 \div (-2)$.

1. Problem Description

We need to evaluate the expression $(-2)^4 \div (-2)$.

2. Solution Steps

First, we evaluate $(-2)^4$. Since a negative number raised to an even power is positive, we have:

$(-2)^4 = (-2) \times (-2) \times (-2) \times (-2) = 16$

Now, we divide the result by $-2$:

$16 \div (-2) = -8$

3. Final Answer

-8
