Exponents Formula. In the expression, a^{2}, a is known as base and 2 is known as the exponent. An exponent represents the number of times the base to be multiplied. For example, in a^{2}, a will be multiplied twice, i.e., a \times a and silimarlt a^{3} = a \times a \times a.
An exponent refers to the number of times a number is multiplied by itself. For example, 2 to the 3rd (written like this: 23) means: 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. In 82 the "2" says to use 8 twice in a multiplication, so 82 = 8 × 8 = 64. In words: 82 could be called "8 to the power 2" or "8 to the second power", or simply "8 squared" Exponents are also called Powers or Indices.
