58 x 54 = 5m 5 8+4 = 5 m (if the base is same and values are multiplying, then we add the powers) 512 = 5 m So compare power with power and base with base
m=12
58 / 54 = 5m
58-4 = 5 n (if the base is same and values are dividing, then we minus the powers)
54 = 5 n
So compare power with power and base with base n=4
