Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number
Product is the result of multiplication of two or more factors
Power is the number of times that a number is to be multiplied by itself or the result of
multiplying a number by itself
How to read
53=125
5 to the third power is equal to 125
42=16
4 to the second is equal to 16
32=9
3 to the power of 2 is equal to 9
ab=c
a to the power b is equal to c
a to the b-th power equal to c

n - “n to the second power” = “n squared”
n3 - “n to the third power” = “n cubed”
n0=1 for any number n
n1=n for any number n
The product of two powers with the same base is a power with the same base, but the exponent
is the sum of the exponents.
This is: ab x ac = ab+c
Prime Factorization is finding which prime numbers multiply together to make the original
number.
The greatest common factor (GCF) is the largest common factor of two numbers.
We can define it as the largest number we can divide these numbers by without remainder
The least common multiple(LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple
for both numbers.
