What is 3 to the power of 8?

Here we will show you the answer to 3 to the power of 8 (three to the power of eight) and explain how we got the answer.

To find the answer, you multiply 3 by itself 8 times as follows:

3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 =

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

6,561

Note that 3 to the power of 8 is the same as 3 raised to 8. In x^y, 3 is the base (x) and 8 is the exponent (y). Therefore, you can also write the problem and the answer as follows:

3⁸=6,561

You will also get the answer of 3 to the power of 8 (3 to the 8th power) if you type 3 then x^y then 8 and then = on your scientific calculator.
