How BODMAS Exponents Calculator Works

BODMAS Exponents Calculator works by evaluating the base raised to the power (Orders) as the second step in BODMAS — after Brackets and before Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

Enter a base number and a power value. The calculator computes the result and shows the expanded multiplication form for integer powers up to 10.

BODMAS Exponents Calculator handles negative bases, fractional exponents, and zero exponents. Wrap negative bases in parentheses: (-2)² = 4. Without parentheses, -2² = -(4) = -4.

Exponent BODMAS Example
✓ Order of Exponents
3 × 2³ + 5
1. Exponent: 2³ = 8
2. Multiply: 3×8 = 24
3. Add: 24+5 = 29
= 29 ✓

BODMAS Exponents Formula

The BODMAS Exponents formula applies 4 core rules — Product Rule, Quotient Rule, Power of Power, and Zero Exponent — to evaluate expressions with powers.

Exponent Rules Guide
✖️
Product Rule
xᵃ × xᵇ = x⁽ᵃ⁺ᵇ⁾
➗
Quotient Rule
xᵃ ÷ xᵇ = x⁽ᵃ⁻ᵇ⁾
🔄
Power of Power
(xᵃ)ᵇ = x⁽ᵃˣᵇ⁾
0️⃣
Zero Exponent
x⁰ = 1 (for x ≠ 0)

Use ^ to input exponents: 4^2 for 4 squared, 2^3 for 2 cubed, 9^0.5 for √9 = 3.

BODMAS Exponents Conversions Chart

The BODMAS Exponents conversions chart shows 20 common power values for bases 2 through 10.

Common Powers Reference

2² = 42³ = 8
2⁴ = 162⁵ = 32
2⁸ = 2562¹⁰ = 1024
3² = 93³ = 27
4² = 164³ = 64
5² = 255³ = 125
6² = 367² = 49
8² = 649² = 81
10² = 10010³ = 1000
10⁶ = 1,000,00010⁹ = 1,000,000,000

Fractional exponents produce roots: x^(1/2) = √x, x^(1/3) = ∛x. Negative exponents produce reciprocals: x⁻ⁿ = 1/xⁿ.

Exponents FAQ

Common questions about powers and indices in BODMAS.

Exponents fall under "O" (Orders), the second priority after Brackets and before Division/Multiplication.
Use ^ symbol. E.g. 4^2 for 4 squared, 2^3 for 2 cubed.
Wrap in parentheses: (-2)^2 = 4. Without: -2^2 = -(4) = -4.
Yes. 9^0.5 = √9 = 3. Use parentheses for fractions: 8^(1/3) = 2.
