Math Calculators

Exponent Calculator

Calculate a base raised to a power, bⁿ. Negative exponents give reciprocals and fractional exponents give roots, so 8^(1/3) = 2.

How to use the Exponent Calculator

  1. Enter the base and the exponent. Decimals and negatives are fine.
  2. Press Calculate.

Formula

  • bⁿ = b × b × … × b (n times)
  • b⁰ = 1 for any b ≠ 0
  • b⁻ⁿ = 1 / bⁿ
  • b^(1/n) = ⁿ√b

Examples

  • 2¹⁰ = 1,024.
  • 10⁻³ = 1/1,000 = 0.001.
  • 27^(1/3) = 3.

Frequently asked questions

What is 0⁰?

Most calculators and programming languages, including this one, return 1. Mathematicians treat it as a convention rather than a result.
