To express 48 as a product of prime numbers using exponents, we first need to factor 48 into its prime components.
Starting with 48:
- Divide by 2: 48 ÷ 2 = 24
- Divide by 2 again: 24 ÷ 2 = 12
- Divide by 2 again: 12 ÷ 2 = 6
- Divide by 2 again: 6 ÷ 2 = 3
Now we have:
So, 48 as a product of prime numbers using exponents is:
