remember

(x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)
and
(ab)/c=(a/c)(b/c)
and

\sqrt[n]{x^m} =x^ (m)/(n)
and

(x^m)^n=x^(mn)
and
x^-m=1/(x^m)


so
first convert 8 to 2³


\frac{ \sqrt[5]{2^3} \sqrt[2]{2^3} }{ \sqrt[3]{(2^3)^5} }=

((2^ (3)/(5))(2^ (3)/(2)) )/(2^ (15)/(3) )=
we can simplify
2^ (15)/(3) to
2^5

((2^ (3)/(5))(2^ (3)/(2)) )/(2^5)=

( (2^ (3)/(5))/(2^5) )( (2^ (3)/(2))/(2^5) )
(3/5)-5=3/5-25/5=-22/5
3/2-5=3/2-10/2=-7/2

(2^ (-22)/(5))(2^ (-7)/(2))
-22/5+(-7/2)=
-44/10-35/10=
-79/10=-7 and 9/10

2^{-7&(9)/(10)=\frac{1}{7 \sqrt[10]{2^9} }

sorry for complex stuff
