The raised number, or exponent, is the number of times the base is used as a factor.
Exponents are just the number of times a factor is repeated. Consider 64. 64 32,2 16,2,2 8,2,2,2 4,2,2,2,2 2,2,2,2,2,2 There are six twos. That's 26
A perfect square has an odd number of factors.
Odd. I determined my answer by looking at the number of factors of a square number.
Exponents 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 23 x 33

No.
Exponents are just the number of times a factor is repeated. Consider 64. 64 32,2 16,2,2 8,2,2,2 4,2,2,2,2 2,2,2,2,2,2 There are six twos. That's 26
5 x 10^3
It is: 2^2*3*7 = 84
We need to know what number the square is a factor of.
I would call an odd number factor a factor that is an odd number. I would call a number with an odd number of factors a perfect square.
A perfect square has an odd number of factors.
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. The prime factorization of 432 is 2^4 * 3^3. To find the number of perfect square factors, you look at the exponents of the prime factors. Since perfect squares have even exponents, you can choose 2 exponents for 2 (0, 2, or 4) and 2 exponents for 3 (0 or 2). So, you have 3 choices for 2 and 2 choices for 3, giving you a total of 3 * 2 = 6 perfect square factors of 432.
A perfect number, like 6.
Exponents are just the number of times a factor is repeated. For example: 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 1500 is the same as 2^2 * 3 * 5^3 = 1500
Unless you're looking at an odd number, 2 is a factor.
