88 = 23 x 111
It is: 3*29 = 87 and no exponents are needed
3 x 5 = 15 No exponents are required.
102 = 21 x 31 x 171
Since 88 is given as a number without an exponent, its implied exponent is 1.
We'd be glad to if you would tell us what the number is.
The prime factorization in exponent form of 27 is: 33 = 27
Write the prime factorization with exponents. Add 1 to each exponent. (Numbers without exponents actually have the exponent 1.) Multiply them together. That will be the number of factors.
The prime factors of 88 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 11
22 x 53 x 17 = 8500
Think of the "ex" in index as meaning exponent. Write the prime factorization with exponents. 216 = 23 x 33
2 with an exponent of 3 and 3. 2x2x2=8x8=24.
