To square a number is to use that number as a factor twice. A power of a number is the product obtained by multiplying the number by itself a given number of times. Raising a number to a given power is the opposite process of finding the corresponding root of a number. To raise a fraction to a given power, raise both the numerator and the denominator to the given power. If the index of a higher root contains no other prime factors than 2 and 3, the required root can be found by repeated extraction of square or cube roots.Read More
