About this deal
So you want to know what 26 to the 4th power is do you? In this article we'll explain exactly how to perform the mathematical operation called "the exponentiation of 26 to the power of 4". That might sound fancy, but we'll explain this with no jargon! Let's do it. What is an Exponentiation? Let's get our terms nailed down first and then we can see how to work out what 26 to the 4th power is.
So basically, you'll either see the exponent using superscript (to make it smaller and slightly above the base number) or you'll use the caret symbol ( When we talk about exponentiation all we really mean is that we are multiplying a number which we call the base (in this case 26) by itself a certain number of times. The exponent is the number of times to multiply 26 by itself, which in this case is 4 times. 26 to the Power of 4 There are a number of ways this can be expressed and the most common ways you'll see 26 to the 4th shown are:
