Question

\(2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2\)

Short answer

The result of \(2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2\) is 16

Step-by-step solution

Converting Consecutive Multiplications into Exponentiation

Technically, \(2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2\) means that number 2 is being multiplied by itself 4 times, which is the same as \(2^4\)

Solving the Exponentiation

In the exponential form \(2^4\), 2 is the base and 4 is the exponent, means multiply 2 by itself for 4 times. So, \(2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 16\)
