((5^6)1/2)/((10^4)1/2)=5^3/10^2=5*5*5/10^2=125/10^2=125*10^-2=1.25

How instantly get 5 power of 6 = 15625 as explained by Varun initially, is there as short formula please explain any one ?

sqrt of 1. 5625 = sqrt of [15625/10000].

15625=125*125 ; 10000=100*100.

=125^2 ; =100^2.

sqrt of 15625=[125^2]^ (1/2) ; sqrt of 10000=[100^2]^ (1/2).

Powers get cancelled, therefore = 125/100.

= 1. 25.
