To simplify \( \frac{2^5}{2^2} \), you can use the property of exponents that states:
\[ \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \]
Applying this to your expression:
\[ \frac{2^5}{2^2} = 2^{5-2} = 2^3 \]
Now, calculate \( 2^3 \):
\[ 2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8 \]
So, the result of \( \frac{2^5}{2^2} \) is \( 8 \).
