$\frac{c - 5}{c^{2 - 25}}$

Step 1

Move $c^{2 - 25}$ to the numerator using the negative exponent rule $\frac{1}{b^{- n}} = b^{n}$ .

$(c - 5) c^{- (2 - 25)}$

Step 2

Simplify the expression.

Step 2.1

Subtract $25$ from $2$ .

$(c - 5) c^{- - 23}$

Step 2.2

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 23$ .

$(c - 5) c^{23}$

Step 3

Apply the distributive property.

$c \cdot c^{23} - 5 c^{23}$

Step 4.1.1

Raise $c$ to the power of $1$ .

$c^{1} c^{23} - 5 c^{23}$

Step 4.1.2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$c^{1 + 23} - 5 c^{23}$

Step 4.2

Add $1$ and $23$ .

$c^{24} - 5 c^{23}$
