Explain Different Base Numbers?
In multiplying or dividing two exponential expressions with different base numbers, write out the exponential expressions as products.
Since the base numbers are different in this problem, write them as products. Then multiply all the numbers to find the answer.
(35 x24) = (3x3x3x3x3)(2x2x2x2)
The final answer is 3888.
Also, in division problems, if the base numbers are different, write out the exponential products of the base numbers.
35/24 = (3x3x3x3x3)/(2x2x2x2) = 243/16
The answer is about 15.2.
