The easiest way would be to use a scientific calculator! You should have a button that looks like " xy " (i.e. x to the power of y). If you put in 2, press this, then put in 8 and press equals (it might be slightly different on your calculator) it will tell you that 28 = 256.

And when you have done a few of these "2 to the power of something" questions, you'll start to remember them, like:

25 = 32 and 210 = 1024

Then you can do questions like 28 almost without thinking!

The easiest way to figure out 2 to the 8th power is to multiply 2 by itself 8 times. This can be done quickly using a calculator or by repeatedly multiplying 2 by 2 mentally. In this case, 2 multiplied by itself 8 times is equal to 256.
