Step 2.2.1

Raise $5$ to the power of $3$ .

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot 125 - \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1^{3}$

Step 2.2.2

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $125$ .

$\frac{125}{3} - \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1^{3}$

Step 2.2.3

One to any power is one.

$\frac{125}{3} - \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1$

Step 2.2.4

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$\frac{125}{3} - \frac{1}{3}$

Step 2.2.5

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{125 - 1}{3}$

Step 2.2.6

Subtract $1$ from $125$ .

$\frac{124}{3}$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$\frac{124}{3}$
