    Answer: 2 to the 8th power is 256.


    Explanation: Repeatedly multiplying 2 will get the result up to the eighth power. So kids must multiply 2 eight times.
    The breakdown will look like 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2. Essentially, you need to keep multiplying 2 until you have done it eight times (the given power).

    • Step 1: Multiply 2 by 2 = 4.
    • Step 2: Multiply the result by two. So 4 x 2 = 8.
    • Step 3: Multiply the result by 2. So 8 x 2 = 16.
    • Step 4: Multiply the result by 2. So 16 x 2 = 32.
    • Step 5: Multiply the result by 2. So 32 x 2 = 64.
    • Step 6: Multiply the result by 2. So 64 x 2 = 128.
    • Step 7: Multiply the result by 2. So 128 x 2 = 256.

    Therefore, 2 to the 8th power is 256.
