To find the value of the power \( 5^4 \):

1. We already have the base, which is 5, and the exponent, which is 4.
2. The expanded form is \( 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \).

Now, let's calculate the value:

\[
5 \cdot 5 = 25
\]

Then multiply that by 5:

\[
25 \cdot 5 = 125
\]

And finally, multiply that result by 5 again:

\[
125 \cdot 5 = 625
\]

Thus, the value of \( 5^4 \) is \( 625 \).
