No. An exponent is the degree to which a number is multiplied by itself. For example in 23 the 3 is the exponent. 23 is equal to 2x2x2.

How do you calculate the number of factors of a number?
List the prime factorization of the number by exponents. Remember that if a number does not have an exponent, the exponent "1" is implied. Add one to each exponent and multiply. That is the total number of factors. 2^3 x 3^2 = 72 4 x 3 = 12 72 has twelve factors. If there is only one prime factor, add one and there you are. 2^4 = 16 16 has five factors.
How do you use exponent in a sentence?
The square of a number can be represented by writing the number with an exponent of 2, whereas the square root of the number is represented by writing the number with an exponent of 1/2.
Can you tell when you have all of the factors for a number before you have built every possible array explain?
If you know the prime factorization of a number, you can tell how many factors it has. 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. 10 = 2 x 5 = 21 x 51 2 x 2 = 4 10 has four factors.
What is an irrational exponent?
It means that it is an exponent, and that it is not a rational number - i.e., one that can be written as a fraction of two integers.
What is exponential nember?
An exponential number is a shorthand way of writing out factors. For example, 64 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2. But the shorthand way of writing it with an exponent is 26. In this example, six is the exponent.
Which exponent gives the square of the reciprocal of a number?
The relevant exponent is -2.
What is the definition of base number?
A base number is the value to the power of the exponent. For example, in 2^4, 2 is the base number and 4 is the exponent.
What is a whole number that has two or more factors?
every number has 2 or more factors
If a number is a composite then how do you write the number in factored form using exponents when there are two or more factors of a prime number?
The exponent just counts the number of times the factor is repeated. 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72 23 x 32 = 72
What is a number with more than 2 factors called?
A whole number with more than 2 factors is a composite number.
Is 2 by the power of 5 an exponent?
In the number 25 the exponent is 5. Whereas, 2 is the base.
Do prime numbers have more than 2 factors?
No a prime number has only 2 factors which are itself and one but a composite number has more than 2 factors
