Multiplying Exponents

Multiplying Exponents

In this lesson, you will learn how to multiply exponents. This is a very easy topic because all you have to do is multiply two exponents together!

For example let's say that you have the two exponents 3 to the power of 8 and 2 to the power of 5.

First, find the values of each exponent!
3 to the power of 8 is the same thing as 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 which equals 6,561
2 to the power of 5 is the same thing as 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 which equals 32
Now, just simply multiply both values.

6,561 x 32 = 209,952
