120 to the Power of 9 = 120 ⁹ = 5.159780352E+18

Welcome to our exponent calculator! We're exploring the concept of "120 to the power of 9". Let's break down what this means and how to calculate it.

What are Exponents?

An exponent is a mathematical operation where we multiply a number (called the base) by itself a certain number of times (indicated by the power or exponent). In our case, 120 is the base, and 9 is the exponent.

Calculation

To calculate 120 to the power of 9, we multiply 120 by itself 9 times. Here's the step-by-step process:

Step	Calculation	Result
1	120	120
2	120 × 120	14400
3	120 × 120 × 120	1728000
4	120 × 120 × 120 × 120	207360000
5	120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120	24883200000
6	120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120	2985984000000
7	120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120	3.5831808E+14
8	120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120	4.29981696E+16
9	120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120	5.159780352E+18

Solution: 120 to the power of 9 is equal to 5.159780352E+18.

How to write 120 to the power of 9 ?

Step 1: Understand the Concept

"120 to the power of 9" means we're multiplying 120 by itself 9 times. Let's break this down:

120 to the power of 9 = 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120

Step 2: Learn the Notation

In mathematics, we have a special way to write this more concisely. We use superscript notation:

120⁹

Here, 120 is called the "base", and 9 is called the "exponent" or "power".

Step 3: Understand Alternative Notations

Sometimes, especially when typing or in programming, you might see it written as:

120⁹

This means the same thing as 120⁹.

Step 4: Calculate the Result

If we actually compute this:

120⁹ = 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 × 120 = 5.159780352E+18

Note: Remember, the exponent (9 in this case) tells us how many times to multiply the base (120) by itself.

Exponent Properties

1. Multiplying exponents with the same base: 120^a * 120^b = 120^(a+b)

Example: 120² * 120³ = 120⁵ = 24883200000

2. Dividing exponents with the same base: 120^a / 120^b = 120^(a-b)

Example: 120⁵ / 120² = 120³ = 1728000
