Answer:

First, you see if there are any perfect squares that are a factor of 125. If you do find some, find what is seemingly the biggest. In this case, it is 25, I think. So you can then out it as root(25×5), I think. As 25 is a perfect square, you can square and then put the number you get on the outside. So since 5×5=25, it becomes 5(root)5, which essentially means 5×(root)5, I think.
