Powers of a number with absolute value less than one tend to zero: b n → 0 as n → ∞ when | b | < 1. Any power of one is always one: b n = 1 for all n for b = 1. Powers of a negative number alternate between positive and negative as n alternates between even and odd, and thus do not tend to any limit as n grows.
Visualisation of powers of 10 from one to 1 trillion. In mathematics, a power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (when the power is a positive integer). By definition, the number one is a power (the zeroth power) of ten. The first few non-negative powers of ...
In mathematics and computer programming, exponentiating by squaring is a general method for fast computation of large positive integer powers of a number, or more generally of an element of a semigroup, like a polynomial or a square matrix. Some variants are commonly referred to as square-and-multiply algorithms or binary exponentiation.
An arithmetic shift is usually equivalent to multiplying the number by a positive or a negative integral power of the radix, except for the effect of any rounding; compare the logical shift with the arithmetic shift, especially in the case of floating-point representation. An important word in the FS 1073C definition is "usually".
However, this is 10 to the power of a googlplexth, which is wrong. 10 to the power of negative (10 to the power of (10 to the power of 100)) is 10 to the power of a negative googolplex, which is correct: a googolplexianth.

Unlike rational number arithmetic, real number arithmetic is closed under exponentiation as long as it uses a positive number as its base. The same is true for the logarithm of positive real numbers as long as the logarithm base is positive and not 1. [105] Irrational numbers involve an infinite non-repeating series of decimal digits.
Digits to the right of it are multiplied by 10 raised to a negative power or exponent. The first position to the right of the separator indicates 10 −1 (0.1), the second position 10 −2 (0.01), and so on for each successive position. As an example, the number 2674 in a base-10 numeral system is: (2 × 10 3) + (6 × 10 2) + (7 × 10 1) + (4 ...
The difference remains positive if we subtract a negative number from a lower negative number. If we subtract a negative number from a positive number, the remainder is their positive sum. If we subtract a positive number from an empty power (martaba khāliyya), the remainder is the same negative, and if we subtract a negative number from an ...
