An exponent tells you how many times to multiply a number by itself: 3⁴ = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81. When an expression has several operations, work in this order: grouping symbols first, then exponents, then multiplication and division from left to right, then addition and subtraction from left to right.
