# Exponentiation |  | In mathematics, **Exponentiation** is an operation involving two numbers, the base and the exponent or power. Exponentiation is written as bn, where b is the base and n is the power; this is pronounced as "b (raised) to the n". When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, bn is the product of multiplying n bases: | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Exponentiation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation) |
