Exponent Calculator

How the Exponent Calculator Works

This calculator computes the value of any base raised to any exponent. It supports whole numbers, decimals, negative exponents, and large values. Negative exponents are automatically converted into reciprocal form, and zero exponents always return 1 (except 0⁰ which is undefined).

Formulas Used

The calculator uses standard exponent rules:

• Basic Exponent: aᵇ = a × a × a ... (b times)
• Zero Exponent: a⁰ = 1 (for a ≠ 0)
• Negative Exponent: a⁻ᵇ = 1 / (aᵇ)
• Fractional Exponent: a^(1/n) = n-th root of a

Example

Calculate 2⁵:

2⁵ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
= 32
