To multiply exponential numbers with the same base but different exponents, we add the exponents and keep the base the same.

8^(12)

Practice makes perfect
To multiply exponential numbers with the same base but different exponents, we add the exponents and keep the base the same. a^m* a^n= a^(m+ n) Keeping this in mind, let's simplify the given expression.
8^4* 8^8
8^(4+8)
8^(12)
