Step-by-step explanation:

4⁵ × 4^-7 / 4^-2

it is important to understand that a negative exponent means 1/...

a^-n = 1/(a^n)

in that sense we have therefore

4⁵ × 1/4⁷ × 4² (as (1/ 1/a^n) = a^n)

4⁵ × 4² × 1/4⁷ = 4⁷ × 1/4⁷ = 1

so, "1" is the fully simplified expression equal to the original expression.
