Why is it that any number raised to the power of zero equals 1?

X0 = Xa-a (a is an integer)
Xa-a = Xa / Xa = 1 ...
Also:
ex. 3^0 = 1
but this is also the same value as :
5^0 = 1
Hence 3^0 = 5^0 = n^0 = 1
If you had 3^2 / 3^2 the result is 1 since any value divided by itself it 1.
Hence the base (here it's 3) and the exponent (here it's 2) is essentially eliminated and the result is just 1 as it would be for any other base and exponent. Mathematically, in an expression form you can eliminate (set to 0) the exponent by subtracting the exponents:
3^2 / 3^2 = 1 = 3^(2-2) = 3^0 = 1 = n^0

What is any number raised to the zero power equal to?
Any nonzero number raised to the zero power equals to 1."Note 1: a0 = 1 is a convention, that is, we agree that raising any number to the power 0 is 1. We cannot multiply a number by itself zero times.Note 2: In the case of zero raised to the power 0 (written 00), mathematicians have been debating this for hundreds of years. It is most commonly regarded as having value 1, but is not so in all places where it occurs. That's why we write a≠ 0." (from the website)
