Exponents signify how many times a given number, known as the base, is used in multiplication with itself. For example, 2^3 implies that 2 is multiplied by itself three times (2*2*2). On the other hand, negative exponents like 2^-3 indicate that the base is divided rather than multiplied. The use of exponents streamlines mathematical equations and computations.
