What is Rational Exponents Calculator

Introduction:

First of all, before going in to the concept of rational exponents calculator, we must first understand what are rational numbers.

Definition of rational numbers:- Any number of the form p/q, where q is not = 0 is called a rational number.

Example:- ¾, 5/7, 65/3 all these are rational numbers. Furthermore, all numbers like 1, 2, 3 etc are also rational numbers, because they can be written as 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, etc.

What is a Rational Exponents Calculator:

Rational exponents calculator differ from number exponents. When an expression or number has a number exponent, we multiply the base with itself that many number of times. When they have a rational exponent, say 1/n, we take the nth root of the base. The denominator in a rational exponent denotes that particular root of the base, whereas the numerator denotes the number of times we have to multiply the base with itself.

For example: 2^2/3 means that

• We have get the 3^rd root of two, or, in simple words, we have to get the cube root of 2. (because 3 is the denominator of the rational exponent)

• Then multiply the cube root of two with itself two times ( because 2 is the numerator of rational exponent)
