68 = (6 x 10^1) + (8 x 10^0)
68 34,2 17,2,2 2^2 x 17 = 68
2^2 x 17^1
you do not do anything when you add numbers with exponents. you just figure out the answer. it is only if you multiply numbers with exponents, where you add the exponents..
Add the exponents
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
68 = 22 x 17
68 34,2 17,2,2 2^2 x 17 = 68
22 x 17 = 68
2^2 x 17 = 68
2^2 x 17^1
The 6 factors of 68 are 1, 2, 4, 17, 34, and 68.The prime factors of 68 are 2, 2, and 17.The prime factorization of 68 is 2 x 2 x 17 or, in index form (in other words, using exponents), 22 x 17.The prime factorization of 68 is:2 X 2 X 17.So the prime factors of 68 are 2 and 17.
The exponents are added.

When multiplying something with exponents, you add it. When dividing something with exponents, you subtract it.
You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
