🔺 Exponent (Power) Calculator

ଏହି ଗଣନାକାରୀ ବିଷୟରେ

An exponent calculator raises a base to a power — repeated multiplication of the base by itself. Enter the base and the exponent and it returns the result, the value in scientific notation when it is very large or small, and, for small whole exponents, the expanded multiplication so you can see where the answer comes from.

A whole exponent means "multiply the base by itself this many times": 2^10 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 1024. Any non-zero base to the power 0 is 1, and to the power 1 is the base itself. A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the positive power — 2^−3 = 1 ÷ 2^3 = 1/8 = 0.125 — and a fractional exponent is a root, so 8^(1/3) is the cube root of 8, which is 2.

Exponents underpin compound interest, scientific notation, area and volume scaling, exponential growth and computer science. A negative base raised to an even exponent is positive and to an odd exponent is negative: (−2)^3 = −8 but (−2)^4 = 16.
