Identify the general term of the geometric sequence given by the formula: \(a_{n} = 10 \left( \frac{1}{5} \right)^{n-1}\).
Substitute \(n = 4\) into the formula to find the fourth term: \(a_{4} = 10 \left( \frac{1}{5} \right)^{4-1}\).
Simplify the exponent: \(a_{4} = 10 \left( \frac{1}{5} \right)^{3}\).
Calculate the power of the fraction: \(\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)^{3} = \frac{1^{3}}{5^{3}} = \frac{1}{125}\).
Multiply the coefficient by the fraction: \(a_{4} = 10 \times \frac{1}{125} = \frac{10}{125}\), then simplify the fraction to its lowest terms.
