Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Simplify the following problem
00:04 When we are presented with a multiplication operation where all the factors have the same exponent (N)
00:07 We can write the exponent (N) over the entire product
00:17 We can apply this formula in our exercise
00:24 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The given expression is 87×107×167 8^7\times10^7\times16^7 . We need to apply the power of a product rule for exponents. This rule states that for any numbers a a , b b , and c c , if they have the same exponent n n , then (a×b×c)n=an×bn×cn (a\times b\times c)^n=a^n\times b^n\times c^n .

In this problem, we recognize that 8, 10, and 16 all have the same exponent of 7. Therefore we can apply the rule directly:

  • 87×107×167 8^7 \times 10^7 \times 16^7

    Applying the power of a product rule:

  • (8×10×16)7 (8 \times 10 \times 16)^7

This simplified form matches the pattern we recognize from the power of a product rule, verifying that (8×10×16)7 (8\times10\times16)^7 is indeed the correct transformation of the original expression 87×107×167 8^7\times10^7\times16^7 .

Answer

(8×10×16)7 \left(8\times10\times16\right)^7
