Translating Technical Process Requirements

An operations manager is documenting a legacy system's calculation rules for a new software migration. The legacy documentation contains two specific verbal instructions:

  1. 'the difference of 17x17x and 55'
  2. 'the quotient of 10x210x^2 and 77'

In a brief response, identify the mathematical operation signaled by each keyword ('difference' and 'quotient') and provide the resulting algebraic expression for each instruction to ensure the developers program the new system accurately.
