To understand this, you have to think about what an exponent represents. An exponent is a representation of the number of times the base is multiplied by itself. For example:
a3 = a × a × a
or:
a5 = a × a × a × a × a
now look at those same two examples, and consider what happens when you multiply them together:
a3 × a5
= (a × a × a) × (a × a × a × a × a)
The order of operations doesn't matter in this case, as they're all using the same operator. That means we can get rid of those brackets:
= a × a × a × a × a × a × a × a
= a8
The exponents are multiplied when a term is raised to more than one power. For example:
(a2)3
can also be expressed as:
(a2) × (a2) × (a2)
= (a × a) × (a × a) × (a × a)
= a × a × a × a × a × a
= a6
