  2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    In the base ten number system, integer powers of 10 are written as the digit 1 followed or preceded by a number of zeroes determined by the sign and magnitude of the exponent. For example, 10 3 = 1000 and 104 = 0.0001. Exponentiation with base 10 is used in scientific notation to denote large or small numbers.

  3. Fourth power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power

    n 4 = n × n × n × n. Fourth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its cube. Furthermore, they are squares of squares. Some people refer to n 4 as n tesseracted, hypercubed, zenzizenzic, biquadrate or supercubed instead of “to the power of 4”. The sequence of fourth powers of integers, known as biquadrates or tesseractic ...

  5. Tetration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

    The term hyperpower [4] is a natural combination of hyper and power, which aptly describes tetration. The problem lies in the meaning of hyper with respect to the hyperoperation sequence. When considering hyperoperations, the term hyper refers to all ranks, and the term super refers to rank 4, or tetration.

  6. Engineering notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation

    Engineering notation or engineering form (also technical notation) is a version of scientific notation in which the exponent of ten is always selected to be divisible by three to match the common metric prefixes, i.e. scientific notation that aligns with powers of a thousand, for example, 531×10 3 instead of 5.31×10 5 (but on calculator displays written without the ×10 to save space).

  7. Legendre's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre's_formula

    As one special case, it can be used to prove that if n is a positive integer then 4 divides () if and only if n is not a power of 2. It follows from Legendre's formula that the p -adic exponential function has radius of convergence p − 1 / ( p − 1 ) {\displaystyle p^{-1/(p-1)}} .

  8. Power of 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_10

    Visualisation of powers of 10 from one to 1 trillion. In mathematics, a power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (when the power is a positive integer). By definition, the number one is a power (the zeroth power) of ten. The first few non-negative powers of ...

    Numbers of the form 31·16 n always require 16 fourth powers. 68 578 904 422 is the last known number that requires 9 fifth powers (Integer sequence S001057, Tony D. Noe, Jul 04 2017), 617 597 724 is the last number less than 1.3 × 10 9 that requires 10 fifth powers, and 51 033 617 is the last number less than 1.3 × 10 9 that requires 11.
