How to manually calculate the sum of two exponents

The calculation of the sum of exponents has already been discussed in the exponent symbol article. There is no special shortcut, resolves the exponents with their respective bases separately and then adds them up.

For example, 3² + 8³

3² + 8³

= 3 * 3 + 8 * 8 * 8

= 9 + 512

= 521

How to use the adding exponents calculator

The use of the adding exponents calculator is very simple, mainly in the following steps:

1Enter the base of the first addend into the first input box.
2Enter the exponent of the first addend into the second input box.
3Enter the base of the second addend into the third input box.
4Enter the exponent of the second addend into the fourth input box.
5Click the Calculate button to get the answer, click the Reset button to start a new calculation.

Next, let’s look at some examples.

Solved examples using adding exponents calculator

Bases are the same

For example, 8² + 8³

8² + 8³ = 64 + 512 = 576

Enter 8 into the first and third input box.

Enter 2 into the second input box.

Enter 3 into the last input box.

Finally, press Calculate button. As the picture shows, the sum of them is 576.

Bases and exponents are the same

For example, 5² + 5²

5² + 5² = 2 * 5² = 2 * 25 = 50

Enter 5 into the first and third input box.

Enter 2 into the second and fourth input box.

Then, click Calculate button. As the picture shows, the sum of them is 50.

Bases are different

For example, 3² + 5³

3² + 5³ = 9 + 125 = 134

Enter 3 into the first input box.

Enter 2 into the second input box.

Enter 5 into the third input box.

Enter 3 into the last input box.

Finally, press Calculate button. As the picture shows, the sum of them is 134.

Negative exponents

For example, 4^-2 + 6³

4^-2 + 6³ = 0.0625 + 216 = 216.0625

Enter 4 into the first input box.

Enter -2 into the second input box.

Enter 6 into the third input box.

Enter 2 into the last input box.

Finally, press Calculate button. As the picture shows, the sum of them is 216.0625.
