What is 6 to the 3rd power?

Exponents and powers are a method to express repeated multiplication of the same number. For eg- 7×7×7 can be written as 7³ where 7 is the base and 3 is the exponent. It is most commonly used to express the powers of 10 to write a very large number in a convenient manner. For eg- 1000 can be written as 10³.

Laws of Exponents

• To multiply two exponential numbers with the same bases, the exponents are added and the base remains the same. 
  For eg- a^m × aⁿ = a^m+n.
• When the exponent has another exponent, the base remains the same but the powers are multiplied. 
  For eg- (a^m)ⁿ = a^m×n.
• To divide two exponential numbers with the same bases, the exponents are subtracted and the base remains the same. 
  For eg- a^m/aⁿ = a^m-n.

What is a Power Notation?

Power notation is a method to express numbers that are very large or very small. For eg- 1000000000000 can be written as 10¹² and 0.00000026 can be written as 2.6 × 10^-7.

Steps to calculate the value of an exponential number:

• Write the number with its exponent.
• Multiply the number with itself for the number of times equal to its power.
• Make sure the calculation is correct.

What is 6th to the 3rd power?

Solution:

Given that the number is 6 and the power is 3.

Write the number with its exponent.

6³ = 6 × 6 × 6

6³ = 216

Hence, the value of 6 to the 3rd power is 216.
