EXPONENT

OPERATIONS
(Expressing Numbers
in Exponential Form
with the Same Base)
Expressing numbers in exponential form with
the same base.

Recall that 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
𝟒
can be written as 𝟑
which is equal to 81

In the same way, numbers can be

written in exponential form with
the same base.
Example 1. 16 can be written as .
Recall: Prime Factorization
16

16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 =

16 can also be written as .

16

16 = 4 x 4 =
Example 2. -625 can be written as

-625 = -(5 x 5 x 5 x 5) = -54

Why not (-5) x (-5) x (-5) x (-5)?

(-5) x (-5) x (-5) x (-5) = (-5)4 = 625

Example 3. 1,024 can be written as or .
Example 4. 32 can be written as .
Example 5. can be written as .
Example 6. 121 can be written as
