Calculate 8^3: Converting an Exponent to Integer Form

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the value of $8^3$.

Let's work through the calculation step-by-step:

• First, calculate $8 \times 8$. This gives: $8 \times 8 = 64$ .
• Next, we multiply the result by 8 again: $64 \times 8 = 512$ .

Therefore, the value of $8^3$ is 512.
