To simplify this expression, we will use the rule for division with exponents a^(m) / a^(n) = a^(m - n)

So, the first thing we need to do is subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.

Here, m (exponent of the numerator) is 8
And n (exponent of the denominator) is 4

So, m - n = 8 - 4 = 4

Therefore, we see that (706^8) / (706^4) simplifies to 706^4 (our new exponent is 4)

The second part of the question was to express our answer as a single term.

To do this, we raise 706 to the power of 4, which results in 248438446096

So the original term simplifies to 706^4 and evaluates to 248438446096, so (706^8) /(706^4) = 248438446096.
