An exponent is the count of times a number, called a base, is used as a factor.
7^6
Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given product as a power.
7* 7* 7* 7* 7* 7To 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.
7* 7* 7* 7* 7* 7_(6times)
We can see that the number 7 is used six times as a factor. Therefore, we have 7 in the base and 6 in the exponent. With that in mind, let's write our product as a power!
7* 7* 7* 7* 7* 7= 7^6
