There is much history of math and it is very complicated. It is hard to explain the answer, but I will put it to you like this. Our ansestors made it that way so life would be easier. I know it seems like it only made life harder, because math is hard to most people, but it really made our lives better. Think of it like this, if we didn't have math, we wouldn't have money. :)
What else can I help you with?
What is a numeral used to tell how many times a number or variable is used as a factor?
An exponent is a numeral used to tell how many times a number is used as a factor.
A small number raised number used in exponential notation to tell how many times the base is used as a factor?
The small raised number is called the exponent.
Used to tell how many times a quantity is multiplied by itself?
exponent (or power).
What number does the exponent tell you how many times to multiply?
The number its placed upon
What is an exponent what does it tell you to do?
An exponent is a superscripted number or value (2x+3, 7, 4, -3, etc) that tells you how many times to multiply an item by itself. For example, 24 (2 with an exponent of 4) is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, or 16.
What does the exponent tell you in a number written in scientific notation?
The exponent in the scientific equation tells you how many decimals to go over because you are multiplying 10 that many number of times. For example, if the number were 1.056 X 107 the number in regular format would be 10,560,000
How can you tell the number of prime factors a number has when its prime factorization is written in exponent form?
. For example, the factorization of 120 is 23 x 3 x 5, meaning 2 is a factor three times and 3 and 5 are each a factor one time for a total of five prime factors.
When you are multiplying or dividing does the exponent tell you how many spaces to move the decimal point?
Yes, but ONLY if the base is 10 .
What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the side lengths?
It tells you how many times the side length will grow or shrink.
What is an equation with a base and an exponent in it?
i dont know please tell me
How many times should you have to tell a woman what to do?
The real question is how many times will you get to tell a woman what to do before she kicks you to the curb.
How many times do i have to tell you?
