Two reasons: They're often quicker to use and they make for a great filing system.
1) Speed - Suppose I had a set of objects {n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7, n8, n9, n10, n11, n12, n13, n14, n15, n16, n17, n18} that I wanted you to add up, but I wanted you to show your work. Would you rather write this down:
n1 + n2 + n3 + n4 + n5 + n6 + n7 + n8 + n9 + n10 + n11 + n12 + n13 + n14 + n15 + n16 + n17 + n18,
or an equivalent expression, using indexes, like this:
∑(ni, i, 1, 18)?
2) Filing - Suppose I had a 6 X 6 matrix, or array, and I wanted to talk about one specific element in it. If I hadn't done the proper filing, I would be fumbling for words in an effort to describe where it is. "Go two down from the top and 3 over from the left." I'd rather just have them filed and labeled with indexes, like this n3,4.

How to write numbers in index form?
Writing Numbers in Index FormWe know that: So, we can write 8 as 23.Likewise, 27 can be written as 33and 125 can be written as 53.So far, we have considered numbers that have a group of the same factors. Sometimes, a number has more than one group of the same factors as shown in the following example.Example 20Write 200 in simplest index form.Solution:Key Termsimplest index form
