1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\left(\frac{n^5}{n-6}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{n^2 - 6n}{n^8}\right)$$.
2. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{n^5}{n-6} \times \frac{n^2 - 6n}{n^8}$$
3. **Factor the numerator in the second fraction:**
$$n^2 - 6n = n(n - 6)$$
4. **Substitute the factorization:**
$$\frac{n^5}{n-6} \times \frac{n(n - 6)}{n^8}$$
5. **Multiply the numerators and denominators:**
$$\frac{n^5 \times n(n - 6)}{(n-6) \times n^8} = \frac{n^6 (n - 6)}{(n-6) n^8}$$
6. **Cancel the common factor \(n-6\) in numerator and denominator:**
$$\frac{n^6 \cancel{(n - 6)}}{\cancel{(n-6)} n^8} = \frac{n^6}{n^8}$$
7. **Simplify the powers of \(n\):**
$$\frac{n^6}{n^8} = n^{6-8} = n^{-2}$$
8. **Final simplified expression:**
$$n^{-2} = \frac{1}{n^2}$$
**Answer:** $$\frac{1}{n^2}$$
