Exponent Calculator

Calculate powers and exponential values with ease

Exponent Formula

Basic Formula

xn = x × x × x... (n times)

Where x is the base and n is the exponent

Common Examples

x2 = Square

x3 = Cube

x-n = 1/xn

Properties

xa × xb = xa+b

xa ÷ xb = xa-b

(xa)b = xa×b

Frequently Asked Questions

An exponent (or power) indicates how many times a number is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ means 2 × 2 × 2 = 8. The base number is 2, and the exponent is 3.

Yes! A negative exponent means to take the reciprocal (1 divided by) of the base raised to the positive exponent. For example, 2⁻³ = 1/(2³) = 1/8 = 0.125.

Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers in a more manageable form. For example, 1,000,000 can be written as 1 × 10⁶, and 0.000001 as 1 × 10⁻⁶.

Our calculator uses JavaScript's built-in Math functions for calculations, providing results with high precision. For very large numbers, results are automatically converted to scientific notation for clarity.
