What is 16 to the power of 0?

Here we will show you the answer to 16 to the power of 0 (16 to the power of zero) and explain how we got the answer.

16 to the power of 0 is the same as 16 raised to 0. In x^y, 16 is the base (x) and 0 is the exponent (y). Therefore, you can also write the problem as 16⁰.

To find the answer, you may think that the answer is 16 times itself 0 times, which is 0. However, that is not the correct answer because of the following rule:

In x^y, if y is 0, then the answer should be 1. Therefore, the answer is as follows:

1

You will also get the answer of 16 to the power of 0 (16 to the 0th power) if you type 16 then x^y then 0 and then = on your scientific calculator.
