The best definition of an exponent in mathematics is:
An exponent is a number that indicates how many times a base is multiplied by itself. For example, in the expression \(a^n\), \(a\) is the base and \(n\) is the exponent, meaning \(a\) is multiplied by itself \(n\) times. Specifically, \(a^n = a \times a \times \ldots \times a\) (with \(n\) factors of \(a\)).
