Exponents Calculator


In this article let me help you on exponents calculator. Exponent are numbers that are used to write repeated multiplications in short. For examples, instead of writing 2 x 2 x 2, we can write it simply by using exponents: 23, where the exponent 3 indicates that the base 2 is to be multiplied three times to itself. Thus,
23 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 4 x 2 = 8
Similarly, 53 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 25 x 5 = 625 - Here, base = 5 and exponent = 3
Similarly, 42 = 4 x 4 = 16 - Here, base = 4 and exponent = 2
The same is applied for variables, as in
a3 = a x a x a
When the exponents of a number is zero, the value of the expression becomes 1.
For example, 20 = 1
40 = 1
b0 = 1
Thus, any number to the power of zero is one. This could also help us on slope intercept form calculator
Exponent can be negative, positive numbers, zero and fractions.
