What is exponent??

[hifhif123]

@tanhuiz Powers are also called exponents. 2^3, the three here is the exponent.

[jonjonjon1370]

@tanhuiz an exponent for example is this.4 ^3 . the 3 would be at the spot were you write the st in 1st. the number in that spot (3) means multiply the base (4) 3 times. it would look like this. 4*4*4=64

Do you not use the word, "BODMAS" or "BEDMAS" to remember the order of operation. Brackets, Exponent, Div, Mult, Add, Sub...
