If you have a power, the "base" is the large number to the left; the "exponent" is the raised (and smaller) number to the right.

the base and the laws of exponent
This is one of the laws of exponents, which states that xa * xb = x(a+b) The base is x, and the two powers (or exponents) are a and b.
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
It is one on the "index laws".
You can have an infinite number of different exponents on a base number, you would then have an infinite amount of different numbers.
