(5 Lots of 4 Multiplied Together) (5 Lots of 4 Multiplied Together)

This document provides examples of operations with exponents or indices. It explains that multiplying powers is done by adding the exponents. Dividing powers is done by subtracting the exponents. Raising a number to a power results in multiplying that number's exponent by the outer power. For example, (3^4)^2 = 3^8 by multiplying the exponent 4 by the outer power of 2.
