Express each of the following as a product of prime factors only in exponential form:
(i) 108 × 192
(ii) 270
(iii) 729 × 64
(iv) 768
(i) We have,
108 × 192
We have to express this as a product of prime factors only in exponential form
∴ 108 × 192
= (2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3) × (2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3)
= (22 × 33) × (26 × 3)
Using identity: (am × an = am + n)
= 26 + 2 × 33 + 1
= 28 × 34
(ii) We have,
270
We have to express this as a product of prime factors only in exponential form
Thus,
270
= 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5
= 2 × 33 × 5
(iii) We have,
729 × 64
We have to express this as a product of prime factors only in exponential form
Thus,
729 × 64
= (3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3) × (2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2)
= 36 × 26
(iv) We have,
768
We have to express this as a product of prime factors only in exponential form
Thus, 768 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
= 28 × 3
