Given: The expression below:


(4^7)/(4^2)

To Determine: The simplification of the given expression

Using the exponet rule below


(a^x)/(a^y)=a^(x-y)

Apply the exponent rule to the given statement


\begin{gathered} (4^7)/(4^2)=4^(7-2) \\ 4^(7-2)=4^5 \end{gathered}

Hence, the simplification of the given expression to a single power is
