An exponent is the count of times a number, called a base, is used as a factor.
245^4
Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given product as a power.
245 * 245 * 245 * 245To 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.
245* 245* 245* 245_(4 times)
We can see that the number 245 is used four times as a factor. Therefore, we have 245 in the base and 4 in the exponent. With that in mind, let's write our product as a power!
245* 245* 245* 245= 245^4
