Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the base number that is being multiplied repeatedly. In this case, the number 3 is multiplied several times.
2. Count how many times the base number 3 appears in the product. Here, 3 is multiplied 7 times.
3. Recall that repeated multiplication of the same number can be written as an exponential expression where the base is the number being multiplied and the exponent is the number of times it is multiplied.
4. Write the exponential expression using the base 3 and the exponent 7, which represents the number of times 3 is multiplied.
5. Express the product as \$3^{7}$, which means 3 raised to the seventh power.
