To simplify the expression \( 16^{14} \), we need to express \( 16 \) in terms of its prime factors.
The factorization of \( 16 \) is:
- \( 16 = 2^4 \)
This means that we can rewrite \( 16^{14} \) as:
\[
16^{14} = (2^4)^{14} = 2^{4 \cdot 14} = 2^{56}
\]
Among the provided options, the one that simplifies nicely and provides the necessary information is:
- **16 = 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 2** (This demonstrates that \( 16 \) is made up of four \( 2 \)'s, which is the key for further simplification into powers of \( 2 \).)
So the correct response from the options given that would help simplify the expression is:
**16=2⋅2⋅2⋅2 (16 equals 2 times 2 times 2 times 2)**.
