Answer

$81$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=\frac{(666)^4}{(222)^4}$ Factor each term. $=\frac{(2\cdot 3\cdot 111)^4}{(2\cdot 111)^4}$ Use the law of exponents $=\frac{a^n}{b^n}=\left (\frac{a}{b}\right )^n$ $=\left ( \frac{2\cdot 3\cdot 111}{2\cdot 111}\right )^4$ Cancel common terms. $=\left ( 3\right )^4$ Use $3^4 =81$. $=81$.
