Nice solution!
I just did 7^7/7x7 cause I got lazy :P
Nice foot note
( 7 ⋅ 7 ) 7 7 7 7 = 7 7 ⋅ 7 7 7 7 7 Use : a m ⋅ a n = a m + n = 7 1 4 7 7 7 Use : a n a m = a m − n = 7 7 7 − 1 4 or 7 8 2 3 5 2 9 □

By rules of exponents , a m ÷ a n = a m − n and a m × a n = a m + n .
The expression in the denominator simplifies to ( 7 × 7 ) 7 = 7 7 × 7 7 = 7 7 + 7 = 7 1 4 .
Whereas the expression the numerator is already simplified.
Now let's simplify the expression in question!
( 7 × 7 ) 7 7 7 7 = = = 7 1 4 7 7 7 7 7 7 ÷ 7 1 4 7 7 7 − 1 4 .
Footnote : But why can't we simplify 7 7 7 to ( 7 7 ) 7 = 7 7 × 7 = 7 4 9 ? Unfortunately, this is not true because a b c = a b × c is not an algebraic identity. You may read further in the following wiki: how are exponent towers evaluated? is a b c equal to a b × c ? .
