Multiplying Exponents Made Easy

Exponents are a way to show how many times a number is multiplied by itself. They are those little numbers written above and to the right of another number. For example, in the expression 2³, the 3 is the exponent. It means that we need to multiply 2 by itself three times.

Now, when we want to multiply two numbers with exponents, like 2³ multiplied by 2², we have a simple rule to follow: we add the exponents together. So in this case, 2³ multiplied by 2² would be 2^(3+2). The 3+2 equals 5, so we end up with 2⁵.

In other words, multiplying exponents is like adding their powers. The powers are the numbers above and to the right of the base number, and we add them to find the new power.
