If you wasn't breaking it down the answer would be 5 because when your dividing you subtract your exponents. If we are then your answer would be 125. Hope this helps. (:
First rewrite the numerator as (5^2)^3 which equals 5^6. Now you have 5^6/5^3 The rule is keep the base and subtract the powers. 5^3 or 125 is the answer
