What is 5 to the power of 0?

Here we will show you the answer to 5 to the power of 0 (5 to the power of zero) and explain how we got the answer.

5 to the power of 0 is the same as 5 raised to 0. In x^y, 5 is the base (x) and 0 is the exponent (y). Therefore, you can also write the problem as 5⁰.

To find the answer, you may think that the answer is 5 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 5 to the power of 0 (5 to the 0th power) if you type 5 then x^y then 0 and then = on your scientific calculator.
