represent natural numbers in expanded notation using powers of 10, and as products of powers of prime numbers using exponent notation
Elaborations
-
relating the sequences 10, 100, 1000, 10 000 … and 101, 102, 103, 104 …
-
applying and explaining the connections between place value and expanded notations, for example, 7000=7×103 and 3750=3×103+7×102+5×101
-
applying knowledge of factors to strategies for expressing natural numbers as products of powers of prime factors, such as repeated division by prime factors or creating factor trees, for example, 48=6×8=2×3×2×2×2=31×24=3×24
-
developing familiarity with the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 and powers of 2; the sequence 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729 and powers of 3; and the sequence 1, 5, 25, 125, 625 and powers of 5
-
solving problems involving lowest common multiples and greatest common divisors (highest common factors) for pairs of natural numbers by comparing their prime factorisation
