Let's look at an example.
22 * 23 = 25 (calculated by adding the 2 and the 3 to give 5).
Why is this?
It is because:
22 means 2 * 2.
23 means 2 * 2 * 2
25 means 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
If we were to bracket (2 * 2) * (2 * 2 * 2), just to show 22 and 23 respectively, then you can clearly see that (2 * 2) * (2 * 2 * 2) must be equal to 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 (i.e. 25).
