#1600 k^(13)#

We have: #frac((4 k^(3) m^(2))^(3))((5 k^(2) m^(- 3))^(- 2)#

Using the laws of exponents:

#= frac(64 k^(9) m^(6))(frac(1)(25) cdot k^(- 4) m^(6))#

#= frac(64)(frac(1)(25)) cdot k^(9 - (- 4)) cdot m^(6 - 6)#

#= (64 times 25) k^(9 + 4) m^(0)#

#= 1600 k^(13) times 1#

#= 1600 k^(13)#
