Question

Express 216 in exponential form.

• A. $2^3\times 3^3$
• B. $2^2\times 3^2$
• C. $2^2\times 3^3$
• D. $2^3\times 3^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2^3\times 3^3$

We can express 216 as
$\begin{array}{cc}2& 216\\ 2& 108\\ 2& 54\\ 3& 27\\ 3& 9\\ 3& 3\\ & 1\end{array}$
$\Rightarrow 216=2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3\times 3$
Exponential form of 216 is $2^3\times 3^3$.
