    You add the exponents and multiply the coefficient, so 8²*8² would be 64 with 4 being the exponent

    If the bases are the same, then u keep the same base and add the exponents

    examples:

    2^3 * 2^4 = 2^ (3 + 4) = 2^7

    3^3 * 3^3 = 3^ (3 + 3) = 3^6

    this does not apply if u have different bases

    if u have different bases, u have to work them out ...

    examples:

    2^2 * 3^2 = 4 * 9 = 36

    3^3 * 2^2 = 27 * 4 = 108
