An exponent is the count of times a number, called a base, is used as a factor.
15^3
Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given product as a power.
15* 15* 15To 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.
15* 15* 15_(3times)
We can see that the number 15 is used three times as a factor. Therefore, we have 15 in the base and 3 in the exponent. With that in mind, let's write our product as a power!
15* 15* 15= 15^3
