Question 1206763
<pre>
Why does a base number to the exponent of zero equals 1?
When a number is multiplied zero times, shouldn't it be zero?

Example: 10 (exponent zero) = 1. 

Anything DIVIDED by ITSELF, equals 1.
{{{matrix(1,3, 10/10, "=", 1)}}}
{{{matrix(1,5, 10/10, "=", 10^1/10^1, "=", 1)}}} 
{{{matrix(1,9, 10/10, "=", 10^1/10^1, "=", 10^(1 - 1), "=", 10^o, "=", 1)}}}
SAME result for all other numbers, variables, etc., EXCEPT 0.</pre>
