Indices Calculator
Indices calculator, often referred to as a "calculator for indices" or an "exponents calculator," is tool used to perform calculations involving exponentiation or indices. Indices, also known as powers or exponents, are mathematical operations that involve raising a number to a certain power.

Indices Calculation
You can use an indices calculator to calculate the result when a number is raised to a certain power. For example:
- 2^3 (2 raised to the power of 3) equals 8.
- 5^2 (5 squared) equals 25.
An indices calculator can also calculate square roots and cube roots. For instance:
- The square root of 16 (√16) is 4.
- The cube root of 27 (∛27) is 3.
You can use an indices calculator to perform operations involving indices, such as multiplying, dividing, or adding numbers with the same base but different exponents. For example:
- 2^3 * 2^2 equals 2^(3+2) or 2^5, which equals 32.
- 3^4 / 3^2 equals 3^(4-2) or 3^2, which equals 9.
An indices calculator can handle negative exponents and fractional exponents as well. For instance:
- 2^(-3) equals 1/8 (since a negative exponent means taking the reciprocal).
- 4^(1/2) equals the square root of 4, which is 2.
Scientific notation involves representing very large or very small numbers using indices. An indices calculator can help convert numbers to and from scientific notation. For example:
- 3.00 x 10^4 equals 30,000.
- 6.75 x 10^(-2) equals 0.0675.
