Exponent Rules Calculator (Product, Quotient, Power)
Use this free exponent rules calculator to apply the laws of exponents. Multiply or divide powers with the same base, or raise a power to a power, and see the simplified result and its value with the rule explained.
The exponent rules
- Product rule: bᵐ × bⁿ = b^(m+n)
- Quotient rule: bᵐ ÷ bⁿ = b^(m−n)
- Power rule: (bᵐ)ⁿ = b^(m·n)
Enter the base and exponents, choose the operation, and the calculator applies the right rule step by step.
Frequently asked questions
What is the product rule of exponents?
When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents: bᵐ × bⁿ = b^(m+n).
What does a negative exponent mean?
A negative exponent means a reciprocal: b⁻ⁿ = 1/bⁿ. The calculator shows the fraction value.
Why must the bases be the same?
The product and quotient rules only apply when the base is identical; otherwise the powers cannot be combined by adding or subtracting exponents.
