20^2 = 5^2*2^4
8^4 = 2^12
125 = 5^3
so 20^2 * 8^4 * 125
= (5^5)(2^16)
Hi can anyone help me with this?
20^2 x 8^4 x 125 (x meaning multiply)
I have to write in the simplest index notation.
Is there a trick to rewriting the bases in terms of their prime factors?
Or is it all trial and error until you come up with the right combination of numbers???? PLEASE HELP
