ELI5, how does 2^0 power equal 1?

Question

I’m doing my GED and passed that math part but this never came up. I saw it on a meme and am lost.

Answer 1

This is a general rule, so it can be applied to other numbers too. Anything the power of 0 is 1.

There’s a few ways to think about exponents. Method 1 is to see 2^0 as “2 times itself 0 times”. In my mind I see this as “2 divided by itself” which gives one.
