Factors of 4 = 2 × 2
= 22
Factors of 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
= 25
Then,
= (23 × 34 × 22)/ (3 × 25)
[we know that, am × an = am+n]
= (25 × 34) / (3 × 25)
= 25-5 × 34-1 … [by: am ÷ an = am-n]
= 20 × 33
= 1 × 33
= 33

3. Say true or false and justify your answer:
(i) 10 × 1011 = 10011
Solution:
According to question:
Let us consider Left Hand Side (LHS) = 10 × 1011
= 101+11
= 1012
Now,
Right Hand Side (RHS) = 10011
= (10 × 10) 11
= (101+1) 11
= (102) 11
= 1022
Now,
By comparing LHS and RHS,
LHS ≠ RHS
Hence, the given statement is false.
(ii) 23 > 52
Solution:
According t question:
Let us consider LHS = 23
23 = 8
Now,
consider RHS = 52
52 = 25
By comparing LHS and RHS,
LHS < RHS
23 < 52
Hence, the given statement is false.
(iii) 23 × 32 = 65
Solution:
According to question:
Let us consider LHS = 23 × 32
23 × 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
= 72
Now,
consider RHS = 65
65 = 7776
By comparing LHS and RHS,
72 ≠ 7776
LHS ≠ RHS
Hence, the given statement is false.
(iv) 30 = (1000)0
Solution:
Let us consider LHS = 30 = 1
Now,
consider RHS = 10000 = 1
By comparing LHS and RHS,
LHS = RHS
30 = 10000
Hence, the given statement is true.

5. Simplify:
(i) ((25)2 × 73)/ (83 × 7)
Solution:
We can write 83 as = (2 × 2 × 2)3
= (23)3
Now we have,
= ((25)2 × 73)/ ((23) 3 × 7)
= (210× 73)/ ((29 × 7)
Now,
= (210-9 × 73-1)
= 2 × 72
= 98
(ii) (25 × 52 × t8)/ (103 × t4)
Solution:
We can write 25 as = 5 × 5 = 52
103 can be written as = (5 × 2) 3
= 53 × 23
Now we have,
= (52 × 52 × t8)/ (53 × 23 × t4)
= (52+2 × t8)/ (53 × 23 × t4)
Now,
= (54 × t8)/ (53 × 23 × t4)
= (54-3 × t8-4)/ 23
= (5t4)/ 8
(iii) (35 × 105 × 25)/ (57 × 65)
Solution:
We can write 105 as = (5 × 2) 5
= 55 × 25
We can write 25 as = 5 × 5 = 52
We can write 65 as = (2 × 3) 5
= 25 × 35
Now we have,
= (35 × 55 × 25 × 52)/ (57 × 25 × 35)
= (35 × 55+2 × 25)/ (57 × 25 × 35)
= (35 × 57 × 25)/ (55 × 25 × 35)
Now,
= (35-5 × 57-7 × 25-5)
= (30 × 50 × 20)
= 1 × 1 × 1
= 1
