To simplify the expression \( \frac{5^6}{5^3} \) using the quotient rule of exponents, you subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator:

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

In this case, \( m = 6 \) and \( n = 3 \):

\[ \frac{5^6}{5^3} = 5^{6-3} = 5^3 \]

Therefore, the simplified expression is \( 5^3 \).

So the correct response is:

5 cubed
