Answer 1

Explanation:

Work out 32 as a product of prime factors in index form

First find out the factor for 32

32 can be break into 16 times 2

16 can be break into 8 times 2

8 can be break into 4 times 2

4 can be break into 2 times 2

So, 32 can be written as

`32=2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2\\32=2^5`

Answer:

The index form of the 32 is

`2^5`
