Frequently asked questions

What is a power in math?

A power is the result of multiplying a base number by itself a certain number of times — 2 to the power of 3 (2³) means 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.

Can the power be a decimal?

Yes — a fractional power calculates a root (e.g. 9 to the power of 0.5 is the square root of 9, which is 3).

Is there a difference between "power" and "exponent"?

No — they refer to the same operation. See the Exponent Calculator for the same calculation under that name.
