Powers of 10 show how many times we multiply 10 by itself. For example, 10 x 10 x 10 means we multiply 10 three times. We can write this more simply as 10 with a small 3 on top. In this case, the regular-sized number is called the base because it is the number being multiplied. The smaller number is called the exponent, and it tells us how many times to multiply the base.
