Given the numbers:

5^12 

1.2^2 

(1/3)^4

Determine the base of the numbers.

Explanation:

The base of the numbers simply refers to the whole number greater than 0, or the constant by which it is raised to a degree. In our case we can easily determine the base numbers by excluding the degrees.

5^12
Base number = 5

1.2^2
Base number = 1.2

(⅓)^4
Base number = ⅓
