What are the prime factors in index form of 24?

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the math questions now? Alright, so the prime factors of 24 in index form would be 2^3 * 3^1. Basically, you break down 24 into its prime numbers and count how many times each Prime number appears. So, 2 is raised to the power of 3 because it appears 3 times in 24, and 3 is raised to the power of 1 because it appears once. Math class is in session!
