square
n x n = n2
Because any number times one equals the original number. Therefore, one and the number itself will always be a factor pair of any given number.
The power or exponent.
1 times a number equals itself. The number is the first on the list of multiples.
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.
A composite number.
A number multiplied by itself three times is a cube number. Examples are 2 x 2 x 2 or 23 = 8.
When a number is to the 'third power,' that means that you are going to be multiplying the number by itself three times.
The exponent
The base is the repeated factor, the exponent is the number of times by which the base is mutltiplied by itself. The exponent is also known as the power, althought the product of the exponential expression can also be described as the power.
Any number can be a factor 4 times.
A number used as a factor two times is a square root.
The exponent tells the number of times the base is to be used as a factor.
