I think i need a bit more information but assuming if this is what you are looking for:
to write 50,000 in exponent form look for its multiples other than 1 and itself and then go from there.
This is what i general do, i pick a divisible number and keep dividing till i get to one.
50,000/2 = 25,000
25,000/5 = 5,000
5,000/10 = 500
500/10 = 50
50/10 = 5
5/5 = 1
so i divided by 2, 5,10, 10, 10, and 5 (three 10s, two 5s and one 2)
then i look if these numbers can be written in smaller divisible numbers (i.e. 10 is 2 and 5)
so 2, 5, (2,5), (2,5) ,(2,5), and 5 as you can see that cannot be divided into smaller numbers so we have thus five 5s and four 2s
therefore 50,000 = 5^5 x 2^4
hope this helps :P
(P.S. it is the best way i can explain online without a whole course on this)
I would say do 70 percent of the 700 people then do 25 percent then 5 percent
It's sometimes true.
One example is the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, which is their product.
But the product isn't always the answer because (example 2:) the least common multiple of 6 and 10 is 30 because 6*5=30 and 3*10=30, however 6*10 is 60.
Ergo, it is only sometimes true.
5 times 1 + 1 times 1/10 + 5 times 1/100 + 3 times 1/1000
