I'm reading Basic Math & Pre Algebra for Dummies and it says...
"As you can see, the notation 2 to the power of 4 means multiply 2 by itself 4 times."
and this is written there...2 to the power of 4 = 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 = 16
Isn't that multiplied 3 times? 2 X 2 = 4 that's once. then 4 X 2 = 8 that's twice. then 8 X 2 = 16 that's three times.
