Exponent Calculator

Calculate powers with any base and exponent, including negative and fractional values.

Result

23 = 8

Understanding Exponents:

  • Positive integer exponents: multiply the base by itself n times
  • Negative exponents: 1 divided by the positive exponent result (e.g., 2-3 = 1/23)
  • Fractional exponents: represents roots (e.g., 20.5 = √2)
  • Zero exponent: any number to the power of 0 equals 1

What Is an Exponent Calculator?

This tool calculates powers using a base and an exponent. It accepts any real number, including negatives and fractions.

How It Works

You enter a base number and an exponent value. The calculator computes the power with a click. Results format properly even for extreme values.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter the base number. The field accepts decimals and negatives.
  2. Enter the exponent. You can use whole numbers or fractions.
  3. Click the Calculate button to see the result.

Input Field Explanation

The Base field takes any number you choose. The Exponent field accepts the power you want to apply. Both fields support decimals and negative values.

Understanding the Output

The result shows the base raised to the given exponent. A step-by-step explanation appears below the result. It shows the calculation process in clear steps.

Limitations and Special Notes

This tool rounds results for very small or large numbers. It shows some answers in scientific notation. It works best with numbers that do not lead to undefined operations.
