Can you clarify your question?

anonymous · Answer

1/number^exponent?

anonymous · Answer

Ok hold on...

anonymous · Answer

An exponent in the denominator simply means that you are dividing by it, to bring the number to the numerator the exponent simply becomes negative to what it is

anonymous · Answer

I'm guessing this is about subscripts and not exponents.

hmmm... is that an example???   $\huge 13_2 $   ???

anonymous · Answer

Yes! Can you explain them to me?

anonymous · Answer

I don't know a situation where you would have a number with a subscript but if it is a variable with a subscript ie. x1, x2, x3 those are just used in summations and each is a separate variable

anonymous · Answer

the subscript means base 2...  but since you're working in base two, the digit does not exist in base 2....

anonymous · Answer

*the 3 does not exist in base 2....

What it means would depend on the context in which it is used. Do you have an example of this?

anonymous · Answer

in other words... i don't know what $\large 13_2 $  means in this case... :(
