Question

Henry and four of his friends are playing a game with marbles. There are a total of 125 marbles. How many marbles will each player receive at the start of a new game if all the marbles are distributed evenly?

Answer 1

$125=5\times 5\times 5=5^3$
If $5^3$ marbles are distributed among 5 friends, each friend will get $\frac{5^3}{5}$ marbles.

We know that when we divide, we subtract the exponent of the corresponding digit.
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{5^3}{5}=5^{3-1}=5^2=25$
