Exponent means a little number in the upper corner of the number that indicates the number of times you multiply the base number (like in 3 to the 4th, 3 would be the base) times itself. 3 to the 4th means 3x3x3x3. 3 to the 4th equals 81. Oddly, any number to the power of 0 equals 1. Even 0 to the power of 0 equals one. That is what the term exponents means.
