Given the numerical equation:

(5^8)^4

Solution:

In order to simplify the equation, we simply use the laws of exponent, which states that whenever a number with a degree is raised again by another degree enclosed with a parenthesis, we simply need to multiply the degree of the number. This can be represented as,

(a^n)^n
= a^((n)(n))

(5^8)^4
= 5^((8)(4))
= 5^32

Final answer:

= 5^32
