Best Answer

For an exact power of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc., but also 1/2, 1/4, etc.), you can try out different exponents until you get it right. To write any number (greater than 0) as a power of 2 is equivalent to taking the logarithm of that number in base 2, which is the same (if you call your number "n") as calculating log n / log 2 (using the same base for both logarithms - for example, both in base 10, or both in base e).

If n= the number you want to power 2 by then 2n would be 2 to the power of n

similarly 23 is 2 to the 3rd (8)

How do you write 20 squared?

To write powers of a number you write the number, followed by the number of the power in superscript. For example, a number to the second power is x2, a number to the third power is x3 and so on. Squaring is taking a number to the second power. Thus 20 squared is 202, which equals 400.

How do you do squared after a number?

Write the number 2 in superscript (that is, a small number to the upper right).

Here's an example of how to write 5 squared: 5^2 Incidentally, this is the same way you write a number to any other power.
