What are Exponents?

• The exponent of a number shows how many times the number is multiplied by itself. For example, 2×2×2×2 can be written as 24, as 2 is multiplied by itself 4 times. Here, 2 is called the "base" and 4 is called the "exponent" or "power." In general, xn means that x is multiplied by itself for n times.

• Exponent of a number shows how many times we are multiplying a number by itself. For example, 34 means we are multiplying 3 four times. Its expanded form is 3×3×3×3. Exponent is also known as the power of a number. It can be a whole number, fraction, negative number, or decimals.

Here, in the term xn,

• x is called the "base"
• x is called the "base"n is called the "exponent" or "power"
• x is called the "base"n is called the "exponent" or "power"xn is read as "x to the power of n" (or) "x raised to n"
