We have been given the expression


(a\cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a )/(a)

We have to write this expression in the form
a^n

In order to write the given expression in this form, we can use some exponent property.


(1) x^a\cdot x^b= x^(a+b)\\\\(2)(x^a)/(x^b)=x^(a-b)

On using the property (1), we have


(a\cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a )/(a)\\\\=(a^(1+1+1+1+1+1))/(a)\\\\(a^6)/(a)

Now, on using the property (2), we get


(a^6)/(a)\\\\=a^(6-1)\\\\=a^5

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is


a^5
