An exponent is the count of times a number, called a base, is used as a factor.
13^2
Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given product as a power.
13* 13To 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.
13* 13_(2times)
We can see that the number 13 is used two times as a factor. Therefore, we have 13 in the base and 2 in the exponent. With that in mind, let's write our product as a power!
13* 13= 13^2
