Answer:

Expressing a number in a power of 2 means that you have to figure out how many times you should multiply 2 by itself so the product will be that number.

The number is expressed as 2^n

For example:

Express 16 as a power of 2:

To get 16, you have to multiply 2 by 4 times.

2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16

16 = 2^4

Then the answer is 2^4
