Answer 1

Answer: 2x2x2x2x2

This is it

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Therefore '32' can be written as the product of primes and represented in the form of index notation as 2⁵.

Given:

The number is 32

To Find:

Representation of '32' as a product of primes using index notation.

Solution:

The given question can be answered very easily as shown below.

Given number = 32

Using Prime Factorisation Method for '32'

2 I 32

2 I 16

2 I 8  

2 I 4  

2 I 2  

     1

Hence '32' can be written as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 which is in the form of the product of prime numbers.

⇒ 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 2⁵

2⁵ is the index notation of 32 where '2' is base and '5' is power or exponent.

Therefore '32' can be written as the product of primes and represented in the form of index notation as 2⁵.
