^{i\,-\,1})
So all of the terms are multiplied by 3, so you can take that out (distributive property)
^{i\,-\,1})
^0\ +\ \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^1\ +\ \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^2\ +\ \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^3\ +\ \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^4\right))
\ +\ \left(\frac{25}{6^2}\right)\ +\ \left(\frac{125}{6^3}\right)\ +\ \left(\frac{625}{6^4}\right)\right))
}{6^4})
I'll leave you alone to have some quality time with your calculator.
