There’s a quick way to multiply There’s a quick way to multiply numbers in exponential form.numbers in exponential form.
Let’s look at numbers with the Let’s look at numbers with the same base that have exponents.same base that have exponents.
3322 x 3 x 333 = (3*3)*(3*3*3) = (3*3)*(3*3*3)How many threes are there?How many threes are there?
How does five threes relate to the two How does five threes relate to the two exponents : 2 and 3?exponents : 2 and 3?
3322 x 3 x 333 = 3*3*3*3*3 = 3 = 3*3*3*3*3 = 355

If 4If 433 * 4 * 455 = (4*4*4)*(4*4*4*4*4) and = (4*4*4)*(4*4*4*4*4) and
(4*4*4)*(4*4*4*4*4) = 4(4*4*4)*(4*4*4*4*4) = 48 8 then we should be then we should be able to add the exponents together.able to add the exponents together.
