Worked example
Power: 1,024 · Root: 1.071773
How it’s solved
Worked on the example above, step by step — follow along and you can do it on paper next time, no tool required.
- Raising to a power multiplies the base by itself; the matching root is the reverse operation.
- Base raised to the exponent
2^10 = 1,024 - The exponent-th root is the base to the 1 ÷ exponent power
2^(1 ÷ 10) = 1.071773

Frequently asked
What is 2 to the 10th?
1,024, and the 10th root of 2 is about 1.0718.
Can the exponent be a fraction?
Yes — a fractional exponent gives a root, so base^0.5 is the square root.
