Simplify 5^8 × 5^3: Multiplying Powers with Same Base

Question

Simplify the following equation:

$5^8\times5^3=$

00:00 Simply

00:03 According to exponent laws, multiplication of exponents with equal base (A)

00:07 equals the same base raised to the sum of exponents (N+M)

00:10 We will use this formula in our exercise

00:13 We will sum the exponents and raise to this power

00:16 And this is the solution to the question

$5^{8+3}$
