In an expression of the form an, a is the base, n is the exponent, and the quantity an is called a power. The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is used as a factor.
24 is read “2 to the fourth power.” Reading Math

More Rules
The following suggests a rule for multiplying powers with the same base.
24 • 22 = (2 • 2 • 2 • 2) • (2 • 2) = 26
a3 • a2 = (a • a • a) • (a • a) = a5
Notice that the sum of the exponents in each expression equals the exponent in the answer: 4 + 2 = 6 and 3 + 2 = 5.

The following suggests a rule for dividing powers with the same base.
Notice that the difference between the exponents in each expression equals the exponent in the answer: 6 – 2 = 4 and 5 – 3 = 2.

RAISING A POWER TO A POWER
To see what happens when you raise a power to a power, use the order of operations.
(c3)2 = (c ● c ● c)2
= (c ● c ● c) ● (c ● c ● c)
= c6
Show the power inside the parentheses.
Show the power outside the parentheses.
