We can start by rewriting the expression as \(\frac{15^3(4^{45}-4^{43})}{15^4} = \frac{(4^{45}-4^{43})}{15} = \frac{4^{43}(4^2-1)}{15} = \frac{4^{43}*15}{15} = 4^{43}\). Answer A!

great way of solving the problem -- but how did you came to know that 225*225 will be 15 raised to the power of 4? how can I too solve the such problem in a 2 months time as I prepair for my THIRD GRE ATTEMPT?
