    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.
