The practical rule would be, times that number, by the result of the first time you multiplied the first number. But, it would all depend by how much your're raising the number by.
For example: [tex]\boxed{4^6}[/tex]
We do, [tex](4*4*4*4*4*4)= \boxed{\bf{4^6}}= 4096[/tex]
But, once again, this was an example. This would show and illustrate the rule of "raising a power".
