What Is Representing Exponential Form as Repeated Multiplication? • An exponent is a smaller-sized number which appears to the right and slightly above a number. It looks like this: 82 1010 53 154 • An exponent indicates how many times to multiply the number by itself. 82 = 8 x 8 1010 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 53 = 5 x 5 x 5 154 = 15 x 15 x 15 x 15 How to represent exponential form as repeated multiplication: • The exponent indicates how many times a number is multiplied by itself. Use the exponent to write a numerical expression: 105 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 93 = 9 x 9 x 9 252 = 25 x 25 124 = 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 • After writing the numerical expression as repeated multiplication, check that the number has been written the same number of times as the exponent indicates. © Copyright NewPath Learning.
