What is 2 to the 12th power?

2 to the 12th power, written mathematically as 2¹², equals 4096. This is calculated by multiplying 2 by itself 12 times, which can be expressed as:

• 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

When you perform the multiplication, you will find that:

• 2 x 2 = 4
• 4 x 2 = 8
• 8 x 2 = 16
• 16 x 2 = 32
• 32 x 2 = 64
• 64 x 2 = 128
• 128 x 2 = 256
• 256 x 2 = 512
• 512 x 2 = 1024
• 1024 x 2 = 2048
• 2048 x 2 = 4096

This shows that 2 raised to the 12th power results in 4096, a common calculation in fields such as computer science, where binary systems are prevalent.
