a^(-b)=(1)/(a^b)


=\frac{1}{8^{(5)/(8^(-3))}}

Simplify


=(1)/(8^(8^3\cdot \:5))


=(1)/(8^(2560))

Explanation in words (Short Form)

- The first step to simplify this equation (8^-5 / 8^-3) is to first apply the exponent rule then solve this equation as shown above and in the picture. Regarding back to the equation, we will then simplify it and the answer will result as 0. Without simplify the answer is as
