The power or exponent.
4 (from "the 4th power")
In the simplest case (of a positive and integer exponent), it is defined as repeated multiplication. The exponent tells you how many times the factor must be multiplied with itself. As an example: 34 is the same as 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 i.e., the factor 3 appears 4 times as a factor.
