%285%5E4%2A3%5E3%29%2F%285%5E2%2A3%5E2%29
The first step to solving this equation is computing the exponents.
5%5E4 means "5 multiplied by itself 4 times," or, "5%2A5%2A5%2A5"
3%5E3 means "3 multiplied by itself 3 times," or, "3%2A3%2A3"
5%5E2 means "5%2A5"
and 3%5E2 means "3%2A3"
As a result, the equation can be simplified to:
%28625%2A27%29%2F%2825%2A9%29
When the multiplication is preformed, the question becomes:
16875%2F225
Finally, when we divide, we get our answer:
75.
