We use potentiation to represent a multiplication of equal factors. For example: 4*4*4 = 64, using the potentiation we can write the expression 4*4*4, as follows 4³.
Next, we'll show you potentiation definitions and ground rules.
Integer in exponent

Multiplication of powers of the same base: “conserving the base and adding the exponents”.
Division of powers of the same base: “conserving the base and subtracting the exponents”.
