Exponents, Prime factor, & order of operations

Front

What is an exponent?

Back

An exponent is a number that shows how many times to multiply the base by itself. For example, in 2^3, 3 is the exponent.

Front

What is the order of operations?

Back

The order of operations is a set of rules to determine the sequence in which calculations are performed: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). Often remembered as PEMDAS.
