Question

Why does 16 to the power of 0 equal 1?

Answer 1

16 to the power of 0 is one because any number to the 0 power is 1. This is because you aren't multiply 16 (or any number) by itself any amount of times.

Answer 2

16^0 = 1 because any number to the zero power is just the product of no numbers at all, which = 1.
