Exponent Calculator

Raise a base to a power.

Worth Knowing

An exponent is repeated multiplication, and a few rules explain most of its surprises: any nonzero number to the power 0 is 1, and a negative exponent means a reciprocal, so 2⁻³ is 1/8. Fractional exponents represent roots — x^(1/2) is the square root. Exponentiation grows staggeringly fast, which is why compound interest, population growth, and computing power are all described in exponential terms rather than linear ones.

How to Use

  1. Enter Base into the first field of the Exponent Calculator.
  2. Fill in the rest: Exponent.
  3. Your result appears instantly as you type — there's no submit button or page reload.
