Additional comment

An exponent signifies the number of times the base appears in the product.

x³ = x·x·x . . . . . x is a factor 3 times in the product.

It can be helpful to memorize the cubes of small integers:

1³ = 1; 2³ = 8; 3³ = 27; 4³ = 64; 5³ = 125; 6³ = 216; 7³ = 343; 8³ = 512;

9³ = 729; 10³ = 1000
