Solution 2 (Only if you don't know how to do the rest of the problems and have about 20 minutes left, not recommended)
Multiplying it out, we get that . Counting, we have the answer is ~andliu766
Solution 3 (Similar to Solution 1)
All the exponents have a common factor of which we can factor out. This leaves us with . We can then distribute the power leaving us with . This would be followed by zeros resulting in our answer being
