Understanding Exponents

What is an Exponent?

An exponent represents how many times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ means 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.

Special Cases

  • Any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1
  • Any number raised to the power of 1 equals itself
  • Negative exponents create fractions (1 divided by the positive exponent)
