In their simplest forms, a base number is the number that is being multiplied by itself while the exponent is the number of times that the base is multiplied.
what is the relation between number of zeros and exponents
10x 10 is Base & x is exponent
If you have ab then a is the base and b the exponent
For 104 the base is 10 and the exponent is 4.
The exponent of the base is a step to solve the problems now the exponent of the product will also adjust a step to solve the equation but it contains more cooperative need.
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

what is the relation between number of zeros and exponents
The base of an exponent is the main number. For example in 56 the number 5 is the base and 6 is the exponent.
4 is the base, 2 is the exponent.
10x 10 is Base & x is exponent
If you have ab then a is the base and b the exponent
The base could be 11 and the exponent 2, giving 112 But, it could equally be base = 14641, and exponent = 0.5, or base = 10, and exponent = 2.082785 (approx)
For 104 the base is 10 and the exponent is 4.
when two numbers are multiplied together that are exponents you multiply the bases amd add the exponents the relationship would simply be that the product exponents are the sum of the exponents being multiplied in the question
You can define any base you like and calculate an appropriate exponent or, you can pick an exponent and calculate the base. So you can have base 25, with exponent 2 or base 5 and exonent 4 or base e (the base for natural logarithms) and exponent 6.437752 (to 6 dp) or base 10 and exponent 2.795880 (to 6 dp) or base 2 and exponent 9.287712 etc or base 8.54988 (to 3 dp) and exponent 3 or base 3.623898 (to 3 dp) and exponent 5 etc There is no need for the base to be an integer or even rational. Probably the most important bases in advanced mathematics is e, which is a transcendental number. Similarly, there is no need for the exponent to be an integer.
