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.
It is a square of that factor. E.g. 5 is a distinct factor of 25. If you multiply that distinct factor by itself (5*5) you get 25. A square comes from the x^2 notation and is any number which has a factor which is multiplied by itself.
If you are talking about the number itself, they can be the same. To be specific: A prime number is a number that only has the factors 1 and itself. A factor is a number that when multiplied creates a product. A prime factor is a prime number that is multiplied to create a product.
The power or exponent.
A perfect square

The factors of nine are one, three, and nine. A factor is a whole number that when multiplied by another number equals the number you are factoring. So, the repeated multiplication for nine is 3 times 3.
To write repeated multiplication in an exponential notation, you should write the number that has to be multiplied as the base. Count the number of times that the number is used.
To factor a square root you must divide a specific number by another number that is a factor of the specific number. The factor of the specific must also be able to be multiplied by itself to equal the specific number. x multiplied by x equals y. For example: The square root of 144 would be 12 because 12 squared (multiplied by itself) is 144.
The same number is multiplied with itself to form a perfect square i.e. a perfect square has real and repeated equal numbers as factors.
A number that is multiplied by itself is called a base when it is written in exponential notation. Exponential notation consists of the number to be multiplied and a numeral in superscript to the right of it to indicate the number of times it is to be multiplied by itself. When the multiplication process is written out in full, the number is called a factor. The number may also be considered a multiplier or multiplicand when the equation is written this way.
always: number multiplied by itself is that number squareex. a*a = a^2
