Answer 1

To express 80 as a product of prime numbers with exponents, we can start by factoring it:

1. Divide 80 by 2 (the smallest prime number):
- \(80 \div 2 = 40\)
2. Divide 40 by 2:
- \(40 \div 2 = 20\)
3. Divide 20 by 2:
- \(20 \div 2 = 10\)
4. Divide 10 by 2:
- \(10 \div 2 = 5\)
5. 5 is a prime number.

So, the factorization of 80 is:
\[ 80 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 = 2^4 \times 5 \]

Thus, the correct expression for 80 as a product of prime numbers with exponents is:
**\(2^4 \times 5\)**.

This corresponds to the response:
**\(2^{4} \times 5\)**.
