Answer:

The simplified form is
15^(15)

Explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

15 to the 18th power over 15 to the 3rd power.

This can be written as:


(15^(18))/(15^(3))

Now use the rule of exponent:
(a^m)/(b^n)=a^(m-n)

By using the above rule of exponent.


(15^(18))/(15^3)=15^(18-3)


(15^(18))/(15^3)=15^(15)

Hence, the simplified form is
15^(15)
