Well, your problem is equivalent to 1/(1.4575^24), or 1 divided by 1.4575 to the 24th power. Just punch that into your calculator.
(When you have a negative exponent in the form a^-b, it is 1/(a^b).)

0.00011841 (using the same number of significant digits as the problem)
X to a negative power is the same as 1/x to a positive power
1.4575 ^ -24 = 1/(1.4575 ^ 24)

It would be (400/583)^24 which has no shortcut. A calculator is the way to go. Could start with 400/583 and square it thrice and then cube that.

Right, use a calculator. If you wanted to do it by hand, you would multiply 1.4575 by itself 24 times and divide it into 1 (either order works).
