Explicit formulas for geometric sequences

Hiroki and Mapiya were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence 125,25,5,1,...125\,,\,25\,,\,5\,,\,1,....
Hiroki said the formula is f(n)=625(15)nf(n)=625\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{\large{n}}, and
Mapiya said the formula is f(n)=125(15)nf(n)=125\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{\large{n}}.
Which one of them is right?
