About this deal
So you want to know what 2 to the 60th power is do you? In this article we'll explain exactly how to perform the mathematical operation called "the exponentiation of 2 to the power of 60". That might sound fancy, but we'll explain this with no jargon! Let's do it. What is an Exponentiation? There are a number of ways this can be expressed and the most common ways you'll see 2 to the 60th shown are: Let's get our terms nailed down first and then we can see how to work out what 2 to the 60th power is. So basically, you'll either see the exponent using superscript (to make it smaller and slightly above the base number) or you'll use the caret symbol (
When we talk about exponentiation all we really mean is that we are multiplying a number which we call the base (in this case 2) by itself a certain number of times. The exponent is the number of times to multiply 2 by itself, which in this case is 60 times. 2 to the Power of 60
