An exponent that is a positive integer. For example, x3 has a positive exponent, while 8-5 does not.
You do not write numbers in exponent for in words.
Exponents that are NOT a negative exponent therefore they are mostly whole numbers kind of:)
A number does not have an exponent in isolation. It has an exponent in the context of a base. The same number can have different combinations of base and exponent. For example, 64 = 8^2 or 4^3 or 2^6. A base cannot be zero but usually it is restricted to positive real numbers. In higher mathematics, the most common base is the irrational (even transcendental) number e = 2.71828...
The two are related. The answer could be base 2, exponent 18 or base 8, exponent 6 or base 10, exponent 5.4185 or base 262144, exponent 1 or base 68,719,476,736 and exponent 0.5
