Rewriting the equation asbelow:

\(\frac{(1)^m}{(5)^m}\) .\(\frac{(1)^{24}}{(4)^{24}}\) =\(\frac{1}{2.(2.5)^{47}}\)

\(4^{24}\) can be written as\((2^2)^{24}\) , which is equal to\(2^{48}\)

\(\frac{1}{(5)^m}\) .\(\frac{1}{(2)^{48}}\) =\(\frac{1}{2.(2.5)^{47}}\)

Now, cross multiply the denominators on both the sides.

\(2.(2.5)^{47}\) =\(5^m\) .\( 2^{48}\)
