An exponent is the count of times a number, called a base, is used as a factor.
6^6
Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given product as a power.
6* 6* 6* 6* 6* 6To do so, we should identify the base and the exponent. An exponent is the count of times a number, called a base, is used as a factor.
Let's look for both of them in the given product.
6* 6* 6* 6* 6* 6_(6times)
We can see that the number 6 is used 6 times as a factor. Therefore, we have 6 in the base and 6 in the exponent. With that in mind, let's write our product as a power!
6* 6* 6* 6* 6* 6= 6^6
