Why do whole numbers raised to an exponent become greater, while fractions raised to an exponent become smaller?

Asked by juliesimmons37

Answer (2)

A whole number is a group of whole things. When you take a group of whole things several times, you wind up with more things.
A [proper] fraction is a piece of a whole thing. When you take a piece of the piece, you wind up with less of the whole thing.
(By the way ... your question and this whole answer are only true when the exponent is greater than 1, and I haven't completely figured out the rule for negative exponents yet.)
