Math indices, also known as exponents, are used to represent repeated multiplication of a number by itself. The index, typically a small number written above and to the right of a base number, indicates how many times the base number is multiplied by itself. For example, in the expression 5^3, the base number is 5 and the index is 3, meaning 5 is multiplied by itself 3 times (5 x 5 x 5 = 125). Indices are an important concept in mathematics and are used in various mathematical operations and equations.
