Exponent Calculator - Powers, Exponentials & Roots

Calculate exponents and powers instantly. Compute a^b (power), e^x (natural exponential), 10^x (powers of 10), 2^x (powers of 2), and nth roots with detailed step-by-step solutions.

What is an Exponent?

An exponent indicates how many times a number (base) is multiplied by itself. In a^b, 'a' is the base and 'b' is the exponent. For example, 2^3 = 2×2×2 = 8. Special cases include e^x (natural exponential) and roots which are fractional exponents (√a = a^(1/2)).

Exponent Rules

a^b = a × a × ... × a (b times)

Frequently Asked Questions

Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. This is because a^n / a^n = a^(n-n) = a^0 = 1. Note: 0^0 is mathematically undefined.
