28=256

Explanation:

When we multiply exponentials, we can add the exponents together if the base is the same. We can prove this by expanding the exponents.

Since 25 is 22222 then we can expand both exponentials and see what we have.

So 22222222 is what we get after expanding both 25 and 23. This is equal to 28 since it is eight twos multiplied by each other.

Using the property it looks more like this:

2523
25+3
28

Hope this helps!
