So you want to know what 22 to the 22nd power is do you? In this article we'll explain exactly how to perform the mathematical operation called "the exponentiation of 22 to the power of 22". That might sound fancy, but we'll explain this with no jargon! Let's do it. What is an Exponentiation? When we talk about exponentiation all we really mean is that we are multiplying a number which we call the base (in this case 22) by itself a certain number of times. The exponent is the number of times to multiply 22 by itself, which in this case is 22 times. 22 to the Power of 22

So basically, you'll either see the exponent using superscript (to make it smaller and slightly above the base number) or you'll use the caret symbol ( There are a number of ways this can be expressed and the most common ways you'll see 22 to the 22nd shown are:Let's get our terms nailed down first and then we can see how to work out what 22 to the 22nd power is.
