6 to the power of 4, written as 64, means multiplying 6 by itself 4 times. So, you would calculate it like this:
6 × 6 × 6 × 6
Let’s break that down:
- First, calculate 6 × 6, which equals 36.
- Then, take that result and multiply it by 6 again: 36 × 6 equals 216.
- Finally, take that result and multiply it by 6 once more: 216 × 6 equals 1296.
So, 64 is equal to 1296.
