Simplifying (1/8)^2
In mathematics, simplifying expressions is an important skill. One common type of expression involves exponents. Let's explore how to simplify the expression (1/8)^2.
Understanding Exponents
An exponent indicates how many times a base number is multiplied by itself. In this case, the base number is 1/8 and the exponent is 2. Therefore, (1/8)^2 means:
(1/8) * (1/8)
Simplifying the Expression
To simplify, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
(1 * 1) / (8 * 8)
This gives us:
1/64
Conclusion
Therefore, the simplified form of (1/8)^2 is 1/64.
