Power of twoA power of two is a number of the form 2 where n is an integer, that is, the result of exponentiation with the number two as the base and integer n as the exponent. In the fast-growing hierarchy, 2 is exactly equal to f1n(1){\displaystyle f_{1}^{n}(1)}. In the Hardy hierarchy, 2 is exactly equal to Hωn(1){\displaystyle H_{\omega {n}}(1)}. Powers of two with non-negative exponents are integers: 2 = 1, 2 = 2, and 2 is n 2s multiplied together.RepechageLook up in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.*As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
