What is an Exponent?

An exponent (or power) represents how many times a number is multiplied by itself. For example, in the expression 2³, 2 is the base number and 3 is the exponent, meaning 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.

How to Calculate Exponents

To calculate an exponent, multiply the base number by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent. For example, 5² means multiply 5 by itself 2 times: 5 × 5 = 25.

Common Examples

  • 2⁴ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16
  • 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000
  • 5² = 5 × 5 = 25
