Why do we add exponents when we multiply terms with the same base?

When multiplying terms with the same base, we add the exponents because of the fundamental property of exponents that states (a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}). This property arises from the repeated multiplication of the base: for example, (a^m) represents multiplying the base (a) by itself (m) times, and (a^n) represents multiplying it (n) times. Therefore, when these two terms are multiplied, the total number of times the base (a) is multiplied is (m + n).
