(1): "^-4" was replaced by "^(-4)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

(10)^-4 = (2•5)^(-4) = (2)^(-4) • (5)^(-4)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  8 • ((2)(-4)•(5)(-4))

Step  2  :

Dividing exponents :

 2.1    2³   divided by   2⁴   = 2^{(3 - 4)} = 2^(-1) = ¹/_2¹ = ¹/₂

Final result :

    1            
  ———— = 0.00080
