How to Use the Power Calculator

  1. Enter the base number in the "Base" field. This is the number that will be raised to the power.
  2. Enter the exponent number in the "Exponent" field. This determines how many times the base is multiplied by itself.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the result.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Calculation Result" section.

Understanding the Formula

The power calculation follows the mathematical formula:

Power = BaseExponent

For example, if the base is 2 and the exponent is 3, the calculation would be:

23 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8

Practical Applications

Power calculations are used in many fields including:

  • Compound interest calculations in finance
  • Scientific calculations in physics and chemistry
  • Computer science algorithms
  • Engineering formulas

Notes

Make sure to enter numeric values for both base and exponent. Negative exponents represent fractional powers, and the calculator handles these correctly.
