two raised to an integer power From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a power of two is any number which is an integer power of two. Each power of 2 is twice as large as the one before. Powers of two are important in binary just as powers of ten (like 1, 10, 100, etc.) are important in decimal. The numbers one less than powers of two are called Mersenne numbers.
