Its power or index.
The exponent
The exponent indicates the number of times the base is used as a factor.
The exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor.
An exponent
Because 6 times 12 is 72. A number, when multiplied by another number, is a factor of the new number.
A number times a number is a factor times a factor and it makes a product. Number x number = factor x factor = product
1 is a factor of ten. This is because 1 times another number is the number itself. Basically, 1 is a factor of all and any number.
No 21 is not a factor of 24. In order for a number to be a factor of another number, x number times n number must equal the number you are trying to factor. Below is a self made image that explains factoring and shows you how to factor 24.
For zero to be a factor of a number, there would have to be another factor paired with it. Since zero times anything is zero, you will never be able to multiply zero with anything to get any number other than zero.
An exponent.
Factor means a number times another numbers equals a larger number. Since 7 can be called "a number" and 168 is the "larger number" then the "another number" would be something the multiplys by 7 to equal 168. That number would be 24
A whole number, f, is a factor of another whole number, n, if f goes into n some exact number of times - that is, it leaves no remainder. Another way of putting it is: if you have a number n, then f is a factor of n if you can find a number, g (not necessarily different), such that f*g = n
