1. The problem is to simplify the expression $14^5 \times 8^5$. 2. We use the property of exponents that states $a^n \times b^n = (a \times b)^n$. 3. Applying this property, we get: $$14^5 \times 8^5 = (14 \times 8)^5$$ 4. Calculate the product inside the parentheses: $$14 \times 8 = 112$$ 5. So the expression simplifies to: $$112^5$$ 6. Therefore, $14^5 \times 8^5 = 112^5$. This is the simplified form of the expression.
