Help Please,

OpenStudy (welshfella):

how many 2's are there in the multiplication?

OpenStudy (sapphiremoon):

When you have an exponent problem like that, you can find the exponent by counting the number of numbers. If there are two 2s, that's 2^2, if there are six 2s, that's 2^6, etc. How many twos are there?

OpenStudy (dallascowboys88):

18 2's

OpenStudy (sapphiremoon):

So what exponent does that translate to, @DallasCowboys88?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

OK, so this can be written as an exponent like this: 2^18 2^18 = 262144 Do you understand? :)
