What is 288 in exponential form?

2*12^2

2^5*3^2

To express a number in exponential form, we typically use a base number and an exponent. In this case, we want to express 288 in exponential form.

To do that, we need to find a base number (let's call it "b") and an exponent (let's call it "x") such that b^x is equal to 288.

To find the base number, we can start by trying to factorize 288. We can find that 288 is divisible by 2:

288 ÷ 2 = 144

144 is also divisible by 2:

144 ÷ 2 = 72

72 is again divisible by 2:

72 ÷ 2 = 36

36 is still divisible by 2:

36 ÷ 2 = 18

18 can be divided by 2 as well:

18 ÷ 2 = 9

Finally, 9 is divisible by 3:

9 ÷ 3 = 3

So, in exponential form, we can express 288 as:

2^5 * 3^2

Therefore, 288 in exponential form is 2^5 * 3^2.
