Answer:

16 =2^4

Step-by-step explanation:

16

16 = 4*4

but 4 is not prime

4 = 2*2

16 = 2*2*2*2

Rewriting with exponents

16 =2^4

Answer:

→ Prime factorization of 16 :

  • 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
  • 16 = 2⁴; in the form b = aⁿ
  • here, n = 4 is the exponent and a = 2 is the prime factor
  • 16 = 2⁴ is the right answer.
