See the where the graph of 2^x intersects the y axis (when x=0): https://people.richland.edu/james/lecture/m116/logs/exponential.html This also has some additional verbal explanations: http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=2626 The simplest way I think of it is by the properties of exponentials: 2^3 / 2^3 = 8/8 = 1 2^3 / 2^3 = 2^(3-3) = 2^0 = 1
