Notice the following:

$\begin{gathered} 200=2*100 \\ =2*10^2 \end{gathered}$

On the other hand, we know that 10=2*5. Then:

$\begin{gathered} 2*10^2=2*(2\cdot5)^2 \\ =2*2^2\cdot5^2 \\ =2^3\cdot5^2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the prime factorization of 200 using exponential notation, is:

$2^3\cdot5^2$
