What is 5 to the power of 3?

Here we will show you the answer to 5 to the power of 3 (five to the power of three) and explain how we got the answer.

To find the answer, you multiply 5 by itself 3 times as follows:

5 × 5 × 5 =

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

125

Note that 5 to the power of 3 is the same as 5 raised to 3. In x^y, 5 is the base (x) and 3 is the exponent (y). Therefore, you can also write the problem and the answer as follows:

5³=125

You will also get the answer of 5 to the power of 3 (5 to the 3rd power) if you type 5 then x^y then 3 and then = on your scientific calculator.
