Exponents and Order of Operations

Front

What is an exponent?

Back

An exponent is a number that shows how many times to use the base in a multiplication. For example, in 2^3, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning 2 is multiplied by itself 3 times (2 x 2 x 2 = 8).

Back

The order of operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed. The acronym PEMDAS helps remember the order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
