Question

What is 8 to the power of 3?

Answer 1

The given problem 8 to the power of 3 can be written as

`8^3`

Where 8 is called the base and 3 is called exponent or power

So 8 to the power of 3 means that we have to multiply 8 three times.

`8^3=8\cdot8\cdot8`

Similarly, If exponent was 2 then we would have multiplied 8 two times.

So the answer is

`8^3=8\cdot8\cdot8=512`

Therefore, 8 to the power of 3 is equal to 512
