To divide a number raised to one power by the same number raised to a nother power, you subtract the powers;

eg 5 cubed divided by 5 squared is 5 to the power (3 - 2) ie 5.

If you divide 5 cubed by 5 cubed then you have 5 to the power (3 - 3) ie 0, but 5 cubed divided by 5 cubed is 1 hence 5 to the power zero is one.

This calculation holds good for any non-zero number.

Why everything to power of zero is equal to one?

x to the power a divided by x to the power b is x to the power (a - b) When a and b are equal then this is x to the power a divided by x to the power a, ie 1. x to the power (a - a) = x to the power zero. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other, so 1 = x to the power zero.

Why does one to the power of zero equal zero?

Any number to the power zero equals 1. A possible exception is zero to the power zero. Some people claim it is equal to zero, others say it equals one, consistent with any other value. Still more say that the result of zero to the power zero is an undefined value. With the possible exception of zero, the statement above holds true for any value.
