10 to the 4th power is 10,000.
When you raise 10 to the 4th power (written as 10⁴), it means you’re multiplying 10 by itself four times:
10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000.
It’s part of a pattern:
- 10¹ = 10
- 10² = 100
- 10³ = 1,000
- 10⁴ = 10,000
This exponential growth happens because the base (10) increases by a factor of 10 for each additional power. Let me know if you want to explore more powers of 10!
