Powers and Roots
aᵇ multiplies a by itself b times; the n-th root reverses it: ⁿ√x = x^(1/n). Whole-number powers are computed with big-integer arithmetic, so 2¹⁰⁰ shows all 31 digits exactly instead of scientific notation. Roots and fractional powers use precise floating point.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a negative or zero exponent?
a⁰ = 1 for any non-zero a, and a⁻ᵇ = 1 ÷ aᵇ — so 2⁻³ = 0.125.
Can I take the root of a negative number?
Odd roots yes (∛−8 = −2); even roots of negatives have no real result — the tool flags them.
