What is prime factor of thousands using exponential notation?

Answer 1

Exponents are just a way of notating repeated factors.

The prime factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

The prime factorization of 72 is 2^3 x 3^2

Answer 2

2 is already prime. It doesn't need a factorization.

Answer 3

When prime factorizations have repeated factors, it is frequently easier to write them with exponents.

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 216

23 * 33 = 216

Answer 4

5 x 17 = 85 No exponents are needed.

Answer 5

It is: 23*53 = 1000
