6 to the 6th power, written as 66, means you multiply 6 by itself a total of six times. So, it’s calculated as:
- 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6
If we break it down:
- 6 x 6 = 36
- 36 x 6 = 216
- 216 x 6 = 1296
- 1296 x 6 = 7776
- 7776 x 6 = 46656
Therefore, 6 to the 6th power is 46,656. In exponential form, the base (6) is raised to the exponent (6), which indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself.
