Question

The exponent of $4$ in $4\times 4\times 4$ is
.

• A. $4$
• B. $3$
• C. $64$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $3$

We can represent $4\times 4\times 4$ as the multiplication of $4$ by itself $3$ times.

$\therefore \underset{–}{4\times 4\times 4=4^3}$

In $4^3,$
$\bullet$ Base $=4$
$\bullet$ Exponent $=3$, which denotes the number of times base is multiplied by itself

Hence, the exponent of $4$ in $4\times 4\times 4=4^3$ is $\underset{–}{3}$ and the value of $4^3=4\times 4\times 4=16\times 4$ is $64$.
