Question

Find the factorization of 80. Record it with exponents

Answer 1

• 2⁴ x 5¹

Solution:

To find the factorization of a number, find it's prime factorization first.

• 80 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5

Now, put it in exponent form.

• 80 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5
• => 80 = 2⁴ x 5¹

Hence, the factorization of 80 in exponent form is 2⁴ x 5¹.
