A number can be raised to a large power or exponent either through the use of a powerful calculator or computer, or with time and patience. A large power or exponent implies the base number is being multiplied by itself many time. While this is possible to do by hand, it is very tedious and, for ver large exponents and bases, very prone to error.

What is a cubed into a squared?

Cubing a number means raising it to the power of three, while squaring a number means raising it to the power of two. When you cube a number ( x ) (i.e., ( x^3 )) and then square that result, you get ( (x^3)^2 ), which simplifies to ( x^{3 \times 2} = x^6 ). Thus, cubing a number and then squaring it results in raising the original number to the sixth power.
