Answer 2

Answer:

$256=2^8$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is 256 and we have to express it as a power of 2.

In order to do this, we can do the prime factorization of the number 256.

256 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2

Now, we know the exponent rule:

$x\times x\times x\times x\times x.........n\text{ times}=x^n$

Here, n = 8

Thus, we have

$2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2=2^8$

Therefore, the number 256 can be expressed as a power of 2 as 2^8
