Is it safe to say 10^m+n/3 is equal to....

Hello all, just trying to understand powers divided by integers.

Is it safe to say that 10^m+n/3 is equal to 10^m + n/3? The first statements shows as 10^m+n divided by 3. The second statement shows 10^m plus n divided by 3... i hope this make sense. I guess my assumption is that 10^m will not be divided by 3, but n will. So if there is a remainder, it comes from n divided by 3 only.. Is my thinking correct? PLEASE HELP

I am re-writing the question to confirm if I have rightly understood it -

Is is safe to say that [10^(m+n)]/3 is equal to [(10^m) + n/3] ?

Plz confirm the eqns.
