1 Write 25 and 125 as the product of prime factors: 25 = 5 2 and 125 = 53, hence 

2 Write 64 and 16 as the product of prime factors: 64=2 6 and 16 = 24, hence 

3 Use product rule 

4 Convert the mixed number under the radical into a fraction and substitute 

 
Use the division formula for radicals
