To simplify the expression \( \frac{6^6 \times 6^{-4}}{6^2} \), you can use the properties of exponents.
First, combine the exponents in the numerator:
\[
6^6 \times 6^{-4} = 6^{6 + (-4)} = 6^{6 - 4} = 6^2
\]
Now the expression becomes:
\[
\frac{6^2}{6^2}
\]
Using the property \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \):
\[
\frac{6^2}{6^2} = 6^{2-2} = 6^0
\]
And since any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1:
\[
6^0 = 1
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{1}
