Exponents are numbers that simplify the amount of times a number multiplies by itself. For example, 5^3 would be equal to 5x5x5 which equals 125. In that same number, 5 would be the base and 3 would be the exponent, (aka) the little number on the top right of another number. And yes, exponents CAN have exponents.
