Look at this number: 23. See the little 3 that hangs up higher than the two? That's called an exponent. When you see that, it means how many times you are supposed to multiply the number that is given by itself. So, in the case of 23 we are supposed to multilpy 2 by itself 3 times. This would be: 2 * 2 * 2. Some people say this as "two to the power of three."
