Repeated divisions
An exponent is a number that indicates now many times to use a number in a multiplication.
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative exponent shows repeated division while a positive exponent depicts repeated multiplications. Usually an exponent is usually written on the top write of a number which shows that this is the base number of which the repeated multiplication or divisions are occurring.
For example, 2.0 x 10⁻³ Means that 2 is being divided 10, three (3) times to give 0.002
Notice that a negative exponent is equal the number of decimal points.
2.0 x 10³ indicates that 2 is being multiplied by 10, three (3) time to give 2000
This base number does not need to be necessarily 10. It can be any number usually from 2 - 10
