With our exponent calculator, you can easily perform two fundamental operations: finding the power of a base to a specified exponent, and calculating the exponent required for a base to produce a given result (logarithm).
An exponent is a mathematical notation that indicates the number of times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself. For example, 2⁴ (two to the power of four) means multiplying 2 by itself 4 times: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.
A logarithm is the inverse operation of exponentiation. It answers the question, 'To what exponent must the base 'a' be raised to produce the number 'b'?' For example, the operation log₂(16) asks, 'To what power must 2 be raised to get 16?' and the answer is 4.
This tool allows you to perform both exponentiation (calculating power) and logarithm (finding the exponent) operations quickly and accurately.
