Look at the repeated multiplication: 8 · 8 · 8 · 8 · 59.

  1. The factor 8 is multiplied by itself 4 times, so we write that as 84 (which means 8 · 8 · 8 · 8).
  2. Keep the 59 as a separate factor. So the expression in exponent form is: 84 · 59.

If you need the numeric value: 84 = 4096, and 4096 · 59 = 241,664.
