The base of an exponent is the main number. For example in 56 the number 5 is the base and 6 is the exponent.
6^5/6^3 exponent on top subtract exponent on bottom and factor, 6, is eliminated on bottom 5 - 3 = 2 = 6^2 You can do this on a calculator just as shown ( My TI-84 does this ) and get 36, which is 6^2.
6x6x6x6x6
It is: 5 to the power of 6
262144 is standard notation for 8⁶, where 8 is the base and 6 is the exponent
The base of an exponent is the main number. For example in 56 the number 5 is the base and 6 is the exponent.
11(base number) was multiplied by it's own number five times, in exponent form that would be eleven to the power of 5 ex: 11x11x11x11x11=11to the power of 5
3 to power of 6= 216 , 3 to power of 9= 729
You can define any base you like and calculate an appropriate exponent or, you can pick an exponent and calculate the base. So you can have base 25, with exponent 2 or base 5 and exonent 4 or base e (the base for natural logarithms) and exponent 6.437752 (to 6 dp) or base 10 and exponent 2.795880 (to 6 dp) or base 2 and exponent 9.287712 etc or base 8.54988 (to 3 dp) and exponent 3 or base 3.623898 (to 3 dp) and exponent 5 etc There is no need for the base to be an integer or even rational. Probably the most important bases in advanced mathematics is e, which is a transcendental number. Similarly, there is no need for the exponent to be an integer.
The two are related. The answer could be base 2, exponent 18 or base 8, exponent 6 or base 10, exponent 5.4185 or base 262144, exponent 1 or base 68,719,476,736 and exponent 0.5
Yes, 6 is the base and 2 is the exponent in 6^2. To solve, 6 * 6 = 36 since we know that an exponent is not, in this instance, 6 * 2, but 6 * 6. If it was 6^3, the answer would be 6 * 6 * 6 = 216.
6^5/6^3 exponent on top subtract exponent on bottom and factor, 6, is eliminated on bottom 5 - 3 = 2 = 6^2 You can do this on a calculator just as shown ( My TI-84 does this ) and get 36, which is 6^2.

1.2
just count how many 6's there are. 6x6x6x6 = 6 to the 4th exponent
It is: 5 to the power of 6
262144 is standard notation for 8⁶, where 8 is the base and 6 is the exponent
