2 raised to the power of 10 is 1024.2^10
Negative and decimal exponents are supported when the real-number result is safe to show.
How this exponent calculator works
Enter a base and an exponent. The calculator raises the base to that power and checks whether the result is a supported real number that can be displayed clearly.
Positive, negative and fractional exponents
Positive exponents multiply powers of the base. Negative exponents create reciprocal powers. Fractional exponents are supported when they produce a real-number result.
What this calculator does not include
This is a focused power calculator. It does not solve equations, graph functions, provide arbitrary precision or show complex-number results.
Key terms and assumptionsShort notes about powers, negative exponents, fractional exponents and very large results.
- Base and exponent
- The base is the number being raised to a power. The exponent is the power applied to it.
- Negative exponents
- Negative exponents are treated as reciprocal powers when the result is finite.
- Fractional exponents
- Fractional exponents are supported for real-number results. Complex-number results are not included.
- 0^0 convention
- The calculator uses the common calculator convention 0^0 = 1 and labels that assumption.
- Large results
- Very large powers are guarded so the interface does not show Infinity or unreadable output.

FAQs
What is an exponent?
An exponent tells how to raise a base number to a power.
Can I use negative exponents?
Yes, when the result is finite. Negative exponents usually create reciprocal results.
Can I use fractional exponents?
Yes for supported real-number results.
What is 0 to the power of 0?
This calculator uses the common calculator convention 0^0 = 1 and shows a note.
Why did I get a too-large warning?
Some powers grow beyond what is useful to display in a simple calculator.
Can I copy the result?
Yes. Copy result copies a compact expression and answer.
Is this different from Scientific Calculator?
This is a focused power calculator. Scientific Calculator supports powers inside broader expressions.
