What does the math term power mean?

Answer 1

The term "power" is another term for a number's exponent. When there is a number raised to a power, you multiply that number by itself the amount of times equal to the power.

For example:

43

The power, or exponent, would be the 3. This means you would multiply 4 by itself three times.

43 = 4*4*4 = 64

another example:

56 = 5*5*5*5*5*5 = 15625
