How to evaluate exponents

When evaluating an exponent, rewrite it as a multiplication problem, and then solve.

Example: 5³ = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125

Multiple Choice

$$7^3=$$

• 7 x 3 = 21

• 7 + 7 + 7 = 21

• 7 x 7 x 7 = 343

• 7 + 3 = 10

Multiple Choice

Evaluate: 4³ =

• 4 x 3 = 12

• 4 x 4 x 4 = 64

• 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

• 43

Multiple Choice

Evaluate 9⁴

• 9 x 4 = 36

• 90 x 90 = 8100

• 9 x 9 x 9 =729

• 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 6561

Multiple Choice

True or false:

The difference between an expression and an equation

is that an expression doesn't have an equal sign.

• True

• False

Prime Factorization

Prime factorization is decomposing (breaking down) a number to a product of just prime numbers.

Example: 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 2² x 3²

Greatest Common Factor

GCF

The biggest integer that evenly divides into two or more numbers.
(Remember, Factor = Fewer)
Example:
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

The GCF of 8 and 12 is 4.
