What is 2 to the power of 4?

Here we will show you the answer to 2 to the power of 4 (two to the power of four) and explain how we got the answer.

To find the answer, you multiply 2 by itself 4 times as follows:

2 × 2 × 2 × 2 =

And when we solve the problem above, we get the answer as follows:

16

Note that 2 to the power of 4 is the same as 2 raised to 4. In x^y, 2 is the base (x) and 4 is the exponent (y). Therefore, you can also write the problem and the answer as follows:

2⁴=16

You will also get the answer of 2 to the power of 4 (2 to the 4th power) if you type 2 then x^y then 4 and then = on your scientific calculator.
