Introduction
When a number or letter is multiplied by itself repeatedly, the result is called a power of that number or letter.
-
The number or letter being multiplied is called the base.
-
The number of times it is multiplied is called the exponent or power.

CISCE: Class 6
Table of Powers
| Product | Exponent Form | How to Read |
|---|---|---|
| a × a | a² | a squared |
| a × a × a | a³ | a cubed |
| m × m × m × m × m | m⁵ | m raised to power 5 |
CISCE: Class 6
Examples
Write in exponent form:
- m × m × n × n × n × n = m²n⁴
- 3 × b × b × b × b × p × p × p = 3b⁴p³
Write in expanded form:
- 3p⁴ = 3 × p × p × p × p
- a³m⁴n² = a × a × a × m × m × m × m × n × n
CISCE: Class 6
Key Points Summary
-
A power shows how many times a number is multiplied by itself.
-
The base is the number being multiplied.
-
The exponent tells how many times the base is multiplied.
-
x0 = 1 and x1 = .
-
Powers simplify writing long multiplications.
