Puissances entières

Positive whole number exponents

By definition, any number (a) multiplied by itself is
a X a = a²

The product of any number (a) multiplied by itself n times is
a X a X a X ... X a = aⁿ

Example 1

5 X 5 X 5 = 5³

Example 2

3 X 3 X 5 X 3 X 5 X 5 X 2 X 3 X 2 = 2² X 3⁴ X 5³

Example 3

x X x X y X y X x X y X y = x³ X y⁴
