To simplify \( \frac{212^5}{212^5} \), you can use the property of exponents that states \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \).
Applying this property:
\[
\frac{212^5}{212^5} = 212^{5-5} = 212^0
\]
According to the rule that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1, we have:
\[
212^0 = 1
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
1
