multiplying a number by itself is a power 2^2=2 to the 2nd power 2^3=2 to the 3rd power
When you multiply a number itself, you are squaring the number; the square of 2 is 4, the square of 3 is 9, the square of 4 is 16, etc.
A cube is a three dimensional thingand X "cubed" (written X3) means you multiply X by itself three timesTimes the number by itself 3 timesExample:if the number was 2, you multiply 2 * 2 * 2 (3 times)and get 8

The square of a number is that number times itself. Square of 2 is 2*2=4 Square of 3 is 3*3=9

I think you mean the symbol for the power to which a number is raised. The two is called "squared"- that is when a number is multiplied times itself- 3 squared is 9. You will also see the small 3- "Cubed"- number times itself, times itself. 3 cubed is 27- 3x3x3.

2 x 2 x 2 = 8
You can multiply 2 by 3 to get 6, then multiply 6 by 3 to get 18.

An exponent. For example: 53 5 is the base number and the little 3 above the five is an exponent. Exponents represent the number of times the base value is multiplied by itself. So the above example shows that 5 is multiplied by itself 3 times: 5 x 5 x 5 = 53 = 125.
The cube of a number is the number times itself three times. Example: 2 cubed (also represented as 2 ^ 3) is 2 times 2 times 2 which is 8. 1 cubed is 1 1 ^ 3 = 1 2 ^ 3 = 8 3 ^ 3 = 27 4 ^ 3 = 64 5 ^ 3 = 125 6 ^ 3 = 216
It is: 3*3*3 = 27
