What is (53 / 5)? 125 / 5 = 25 = 5²
What is (5² / 5)? 25 / 5 = 5 = 51
What is (51 / 5)? 5 / 5 = 1 = 50
The above is the conventional answer. Thus making the actual answer "for purely conventional reasons only", for there is no actual logic to it. Else you could continue it and have:
What is (50 / 5)? 1/ 5 = .2 = 5-1 and you certainly never see anyone claim that 5-1 is equal to .2, do you?
Also consider:
What is 5²? Counting to five, five times - or 25.
What is 51? Counting to five just the once - or 5.
What is 50? Counting to five not at all - or 0.
See? The same steadily downward progression as in the first example. What does that mean? It means mathematics is a matter of convention, and those who do it most have simply decided it one way. They could have as easily decided it another way.

What does any number raised to the zero power equal?
Any number to the power of zero equals one.
What does the Number e to the power of zero equal?
one.
What does minus five to the zero power equal?
By definition, any number raised to the zero power is "one".
What is ten to the 0Th power?
1. Any number to the power of zero is equal to one.
What is two to the zero power?
Any number raised to the power zero is equal to one. (However, 00 isn't defined.)
What does any number raised to the zero power equal?
Any number to the power of zero equals one.
What does the Number e to the power of zero equal?
one.
Any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is equal to?
Any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is equal to one (1).By definition.
What does minus five to the zero power equal?
By definition, any number raised to the zero power is "one".
What is a number to the zero power?
Any Non-zero number, raised to the zero-power is equal to one (1). Zero raised to the zero power is not defined, but can converge towards a limit, for certain functions.
What is ten to the 0Th power?
1. Any number to the power of zero is equal to one.
What is two to the zero power?
Any number raised to the power zero is equal to one. (However, 00 isn't defined.)
What happened to the zeo powers?
If you mean "zero powers", any number raised to the power zero is equal to one - except that zero to the power zero is undefined.
Why x power zero is equal to one?
Because any number raised to the power of 0 is always equal to 1
What happens to a number when it has 0 as an exponent?
Anything (except zero) raised to the zero power is equal to one.
Why is the exponent zero on a number that is equal to zero?
The question doesn't make sense, because any nonzero number raised to the zero (0) power (exponent) will always equal one (1).
Why does any number to the first power equal 1?
Any number to the first power equals that number, and any number to the zero power equals one.
