This video provides a short lesson on index notation and representing whole numbers as products of powers of prime numbers. Examples of raising base numbers to different powers are shown. Prime and composite numbers are explained, and factor trees are used to express numbers as products of their prime factors, determine HCF (highest common factor) and LCM (lowest common multiple). Step-by-step graphics; ideal for reinforcing concepts.
