I'm assuming that you're phrasing the question this way:
53 • 54
Whenever you are multiplying identical phrases or components (i.e., numbers/constants or variables) with powers, merely add the powers to find the "final power."
In this case, 5 and 5 are identical constants/numbers, therefore you can add their powers, which gives you:
57 , which equals 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5, which equals 78,125.
If you want to check your work, break down the powers into:
53 = 125 and 54 = 625, and then substitute:
125 • 625 = 78,125
Works out great! Hope this helps!

If I understand the problem correctly, I think you're asking, what is 53 X 54.
If correct, then when you multiply values with exponents, the exponents add: 53 X 54 = 53+4 = 57
