Exponential Form Calculator

Whether you wish to write an integer in exponential form or convert a number from log to exponential format, our exponential form calculator can help you.

In mathematics, we say a number is "in exponential form" when one or more exponents are involved. In the article below, we will briefly discuss the following fundamentals to ease you into the subject further:

• Writing integers in exponential form;
• Calculating log to exponential form conversion; and
• Calculating exponential to logarithm form.

Writing integers in exponential form

An integer can be expressed as a product of primes through prime factorization. For example, 250 can be written as:

We can use the exponential form to express this more concisely:

We say that 2 × 5 3 2 \times 5^3 2 × 5 3 is the exponential form of 250 250 250 .

Writing the number in the exponential form retains the vital information (the prime factors) while saving space. If you want to learn how to prime factorize a number, head to our prime factorization calculator.

Since we depend on prime factorizing to write a number this way, we can only express non-zero whole numbers in the exponential form. And of course, since prime numbers' only factors are themselves, their prime factorizations are themselves, too!

❗ Exponential form and exponential notation are different. Exponential notation is similar to the exponential form but doesn't rely on prime factorization. Exponential notation is a way to represent any number in a more accessible format for calculations. Head to our exponential notation calculator to learn more.

Calculating log to exponential form conversion

A logarithmic number can be converted into its corresponding exponential form due to their relation:

b a = c ⟹ log ⁡ b c = a e a = c ⟹ ln ⁡ c = a b^a = c \ \Longrightarrow \ \log_b c = a\\[0.5em] e^a = c \ \Longrightarrow \ \ln c = a\\

b a = c ⟹ lo g b ​ c = a e a = c ⟹ ln c = a

• b b b — The base;
• a a a — The exponent;
• c c c — A number; and
• e e e — Euler's number.

For example, consider ln ⁡ 15 = 2.71 \ln 15 = 2.71 ln 15 = 2.71 . We can convert to exponential form by raising e e e to both sides:

ln ⁡ 15 ≈ 2.71 ⇒ e ln ⁡ 15 = e 2.71 15 = e 2.71 \begin \ln 15 &\approx 2.71\\ \Rightarrow e^ <\ln 15>&= e^\\ 15 &= e^ \end ln 15 ⇒ e l n 15 15 ​ ≈ 2.71 = e 2.71 = e 2.71 ​

Consider another example, log ⁡ 2 8 = 3 \log_2 8 = 3 lo g 2 ​ 8 = 3 , which we can convert by raising 2 2 2 to both sides:

log ⁡ 2 8 = 3 ⇒ 2 log ⁡ 2 8 = 2 3 8 = 2 3 \begin \log_2 8 &= 3\\ \Rightarrow 2^ <\log_2 8>&= 2^\\ 8 &= 2^ \end lo g 2 ​ 8 ⇒ 2 l o g 2 ​ 8 8 ​ = 3 = 2 3 = 2 3 ​

Calculating exponential to logarithm form

Calculating exponential to logarithm form is basically the inverse of what we did in the last section.

log ⁡ b c = a ⟹ b a = c ln ⁡ c = a ⟹ e a = c \begin \log_b c &= a \Longrightarrow b^a = c \\[0.5em] \ln c &= a \Longrightarrow e^a = c\\ \end lo g b ​ c ln c ​ = a ⟹ b a = c = a ⟹ e a = c ​

For example, consider 2 5 = 32 2^5 = 32 2 5 = 32 , which we can convert by applying log ⁡ 2 \log_2 lo g 2 ​ on both sides:

2 5 = 32 ⇒ log ⁡ 2 ( 2 5 ) = log ⁡ 2 32 5 = log ⁡ 2 32 \begin 2^5 &= 32\\ \Rightarrow \log_2(2^5) &= \log_232\\ 5 &= \log_2 32 \end 2 5 ⇒ lo g 2 ​ ( 2 5 ) 5 ​ = 32 = lo g 2 ​ 32 = lo g 2 ​ 32 ​

How to use this exponential form calculator

Our exponential form calculator is straightforward to use:

1. Select what conversion you wish to perform. You can ask our calculator to:
   • Write the exponential form of a whole number;
   • Convert log to exponential form; or
   • Convert exponential to log form.
2. Enter the whole number you wish to convert to exponential form, and our calculator will do the rest.
3. To convert from log form to exponential form ( log ⁡ b c = a ⟹ b a = c \log_bc =a \Longrightarrow b^a=c lo g b ​ c = a ⟹ b a = c ):

Can I write 24.65 in the exponential form?

You cannot write 24.65 in the exponential form since it is not a whole number. You can, however, write it in the exponential notation 2.465 × 10 1 , which is different from the exponential form. To learn how to do this, visit our exponential notation calculator.

What is the relationship between logarithm and exponential functions?

A logarithm and an exponential function with the same base are inverse functions of each other. If b a = c, then log_b(c) = a, and vice versa.
