Exponents are used in many different contexts and for different, though related, reasons.
Exponents are used in scientific notation to represent very large and very small numbers. The main purpose it to strip the number of unnecessary detail and to reduce the risk of errors.
Exponents are used in algebra and calculus to deal with exponential or power functions. Many laws in physics, for example, involve powers (positive, negative or fractional) of basic measures. Calculations based on these laws are simper if exponents are used.

You can use exponents if you have 4x4x4x4x4x4 4x4x4x4x4x4=4 to the sixth power but really, you're doing the same problem eiter way, so exponents are pretty much useless or in real life you ues exponets when it is a really big number like 2.45x10 to the 7th power and that number would be 245000
