Sagot :

The  base   is a number that is multiplied. The number that indicates how many times this number is used as a factor is the  exponent  

For example, the number 2^3 expands out to 2*2*2. We have three copies of the base '2' being multiplied.

Another example: 5^2 = 5*5.

Answer:

The "Factor" is a number that is multiplied. The number that indicates how many times this number is used as a factor is the "Exponent".

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 7 • 7 can be written as 72, 7 is the base and 2 is the exponent. The exponent 2 means there are two factors.
