Step-by-step solution

The goal is to express the given expression 87×88×978^7 \times 8^8 \times 9^7 using properties of exponents.

First, observe that 878^7 and 979^7 share a common exponent of 77. So, they can be factored as:

(8×9)7(8 \times 9)^7.

This handles the product 87×978^7 \times 9^7. Now, include 888^8 which is not part of the factoring:

(8×9)7×88(8 \times 9)^7 \times 8^8.

This resulting expression matches the provided possible choice.

Therefore, the rewritten expression is (8×9)7×88\left(8 \times 9\right)^7 \times 8^8.

Final Answer

(8×9)7×88 \left(8\times9\right)^7\times8^8
