Explanation of Solution

Given information:

An exponent tells how many times a number is used as a factor. A number that is expressed using an exponent is called a power. The number that is multiplied is called the base.

The expression can be simplified as;

  $\begin{array}{l}6\cdot 6\cdot 6\cdot 6\cdot 6\\ \text{The base 6 is a factor 5 times}\text{.}\\ 6\cdot 6\cdot 6\cdot 6\cdot 6=6^5\end{array}$ .
