Question

How to express $2$ power $16$ ?

Answer 1

Representation of powers of numbers:

1. Exponents denote the number of times a number is multiplied by itself.
2. They are also called the power of a number.
3. They are written as superscripts to the base.

To express $2$ power $16$, we write the base and then write the power as a superscript to the base. Here, base is $2$ and power is $16$. Thus,

$2$ power $16$ $=2^{16}$

Hence, $2$ power $16$ is expressed as $2^{16}$.
