A number does not have an exponent in isolation. It has an exponent in the context of a base. The same number can have different combinations of base and exponent. A base cannot be zero but usually it is restricted to positive real numbers. In higher mathematics, the most common base is the irrational (even transcendental) number e = 2.71828...Thus 216 = 216^1 or 10^2.3345 or e^5.3753 or 6^3 or 36^1.5 and so on.
