The problem is to evaluate the expression $(-3)^8 \div (-3)^5$.

1. Problem Description

The problem is to evaluate the expression $(-3)^8 \div (-3)^5$.

2. Solution Steps

To solve the problem, we use the rule for dividing exponents with the same base:

$a^m \div a^n = a^{m-n}$

In this case, $a = -3$, $m = 8$, and $n = 5$. Therefore, we have:

$(-3)^8 \div (-3)^5 = (-3)^{8-5} = (-3)^3$

Now, we evaluate $(-3)^3$:

$(-3)^3 = (-3) \times (-3) \times (-3) = 9 \times (-3) = -27$

3. Final Answer

The final answer is -27.
