Calculate powers, roots, squares, and cubes. From simple squaring to nth roots, this is your complete exponent toolkit — the E in GEMS.
An exponent tells you how many times to multiply a number (the base) by itself. For example, 2⁴ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.
| Expression | Result | Read As |
|---|---|---|
2¹⁰ | 1,024 | Two to the tenth |
2²⁰ | 1,048,576 | Two to the twentieth (≈ 1 million) |
10³ | 1,000 | Ten cubed (one thousand) |
10⁶ | 1,000,000 | Ten to the sixth (one million) |
√2 | 1.41421… | Square root of two |
e¹ | 2.71828… | Euler's number |
The E in GEMS stands for Exponent — a nod to the exponential growth that underlies compound interest, population dynamics, computer science, and the universe itself. Every calculation starts with gems. ✦
