What are Exponents?

So, you go to a problem that says 24 you probably think it means 2 x 4. Well, it actually means 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.

So, remember the large number is getting multiplied by itself how many times times the little number is.

So an example 59 means 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 1,953,125.  So, that's how you do exponents.
