Simplify. Express your answer as a single term using exponents.

Question

895
1
895
5

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( \frac{895^1}{895^5} \), you can use the property of exponents which states:

\[ \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \]

Here, \( a = 895 \), \( m = 1 \), and \( n = 5 \). Applying the property:

\[ \frac{895^1}{895^5} = 895^{1-5} = 895^{-4} \]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[ 895^{-4} \]
