00:00 Simply
00:05 In multiplication, the order of factors doesn't matter
00:08 We'll use this formula in our exercise and swap between the factors
00:18 According to laws of exponents, division of powers with equal bases (A)
00:24 equals the same base (A) raised to the difference of exponents (M-N)
00:30 We'll use this formula in our exercise
00:40 This is one solution to the question
00:47 Let's write another option for solving the question
00:50 Again we'll swap between the multiplication factors

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression (12×6)20(6×12)4 \frac{\left(12\times6\right)^{20}}{\left(6\times12\right)^4} , we will use the Power of a Quotient Rule for Exponents. This rule states that aman=amn \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} .

First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses.

The numerator is: (12×6)20 (12 \times 6)^{20} and the denominator is: (6×12)4 (6 \times 12)^4 .

Notice that 12×6=72 12 \times 6 = 72 . Therefore, our expression simplifies to:

7220724 \frac{72^{20}}{72^4}

Applying the Power of a Quotient Rule, we have:

72204=7216 72^{20-4} = 72^{16}

Thus, the expression simplifies to 7216 72^{16} .

The solution to the question is: 7216 72^{16} . A'+C' are correct.

Answer

A'+C' are correct
