Representation of a real number using exponents after the number has been decomposed into factors.
Examples
\(25 = 5 × 5 = 5^{2}\)
\(100 = 10 × 10 = 10^{2}\)
\(1000 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 10^3\)
\(1372 = 2 × 2 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 2^2 × 7^3\)
\(25 = 5 × 5 = 5^{2}\)
\(100 = 10 × 10 = 10^{2}\)
\(1000 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 10^3\)
\(1372 = 2 × 2 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 2^2 × 7^3\)
