Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given product using exponents. Recall that an exponent is a number or expression written above a number indicating how many times that number is being multiplied by itself. Let's consider the given expression.
8 * 8 * 8
3 times
We can see that the factor 8 is being multiplied by itself three times. Therefore, we can write this expression as 8 to the power of 3.
8^3
