Use the “Power” function to specify an exponent using the format “Power(number,power).” When used by itself, you need to add an “=” sign at the beginning. As an example, “=Power(10,2)” raises 10 to the second power.

In a rich text editor, the power number symbol is created by entering a superscript in the text. The superscript icon is given under “Font” category. For spreadsheet software, type the “^” symbol, which represents exponents. Type the value of the power number immediately after the power symbol.

How to Type Exponents in Google Docs?

2. Place the insertion point where you want to insert an exponent.
3. In the horizontal toolbar at the top of the screen, click “Insert.”
4. Select “Equation.”
5. Type e.g. 10^6 and Google Docs will automatically transform that into 106.

Press the “Shift” and “6” keys to enter a caret symbol. Alternatively, type two asterisks in a row. Enter the exponent.

To use this method to type an exponent on a computer, you need to:

1. Move your mouse pointer to wherever on your screen you want to type the exponent.
2. Press Shift + 6 to type in the caret symbol (^).
3. Type in the exponent immediately following the symbol(s).

Exponentiation is a mathematical operation on two numbers. Click on the cell where you want to type the exponent. Type the “=” sign. Type the base number. Type the “^” symbol, located on the 6 key on a standard keyboard. Type the exponent. Press the “Enter” key.
