What is an Exponent?
An exponent shows how many times to multiply a number by itself. In the expression aⁿ: a is the base and n is the exponent or power.
Examples:
- 5³ = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125
- So, 5³ = 125
How to use the Exponent Calculator?
Examples:
- Enter the base number. For example: 6
- Enter the exponent. For example: 4

After entering the value, you click on calculate, and in seconds, you see the results.
Examples:
- Base = 8
- Exponent = 3
- The result is 83 = 8 × 8 × 8 = 512

How does the Exponent Calculator work?
Positive exponents
Positive exponents multiply the base that many times.
- 5² = 5 × 5 = 25
Negative exponents
Negative exponents give the reciprocal.
- 3⁻² = 1 / 3² = 0.11111111111111
Exponent of 1
Exponent of 1 returns the base itself.
- 6¹ = 6
Exponent of 0
Exponent of 0 always returns 1 (if base ≠ 0).
- 5⁰ = 1
