Write the sum of the exponents of prime factors in the prime factorization of 98.
The prime factorization of 98 is as follows:
98 = 2 × 7 × 7
⇒ 98 = 21 ×72
We know that the exponent of a number am is m.
∴The sum of powers = 1 + 2 = 3
The sum of the exponents of prime factors in the prime factorization of 98 is 3.
