ANSWER


5^(-7)\text{ or }(1)/(5^7)

EXPALANATION

We want to simplify the expression:


(5^(-4))/(5^3)

Because the numerator and denominator have the same base (5), we can subtract the power of the denominator from the numerator:


\begin{gathered} 5^{-4\text{ - 3}} \\ \Rightarrow5^(-7) \\ \Rightarrow\text{ }(1)/(5^7) \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
