5! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 120
in the 2nd equation, you have 5^4, which is 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 625. Without calculating the additional exponents, it's already bigger than the first numbet

5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
(((((5^4)^3)^2)^3)^4) = 5^288 = 5 times itslef 288 times, so this is clearly much larger than the first number, since just 5^3 is already 125.
