Set up the equation in long division form with x-5 outside of the box. Then you want to input the values as you go. Let me know if you want me to clarify my steps.
Exponents are not particularly mysterious. They show repeated multiplication. That is ...
... c⁴ = c·c·c·c
... w² = w·w
Then the factor inside parentheses is ...
... 8·c·c·c·c·w·w
The exponent outside parentheses tells you the number of times this is repeated as a factor:
... (8c⁴w²)² = (8·c·c·c·c·w·w)(8·c·c·c·c·w·w)
... = 8·8·c·c·c·c·c·c·c·c·w·w·w·w = 64c⁸w⁴

You can take advantage of the fact that multiplication is repeated addition, so the exponents of the various factors can be found by multiplying the outside exponent by the inside exponents.
