Oh, dude, index form in math is just a fancy way of saying exponential form. So, if you see "536" in index form, it means 5 to the power of 36. It's like math's way of saying, "Hey, let's make this number look cooler and more confusing!"
The power or index. Strangely, it even works with numbers which are not math numbers!
if you want to do on your own look in you math book reciprocals in the index you will find fast but , depends on what kind of math book you have .
You do indicies by multiplying the big number by itself the number of times the index is. for example, if you had 2 2 (2 being the index) it would be 2x2, 4. But if it is 2 3 (3 being the index) it would be 2x2x2, 8.

Index form is where a number is expressed as the exponents of its prime factors. At the moment, you have it as its prime factors. We have two 3s, so that can be given as 32 and we have four 4s, so that can be given as 44. Thus 3x3x4x4x4x4 in index form is 32x44
what is the index of 3x3x3x3

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math lingo now! So, like, 49 in index form is 7^2. It's like saying 7 raised to the power of 2 because 7 multiplied by 7 equals 49. It's just a fancy way of showing off your math skills, you know?
