Сейчас из Америки позвонили. Сказали in power, напр., 10 в в шестой - 10 in power 6.

А немцы по -английски: 10 high 6.

Спасибо. Буду думать.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

For example, 35 = 3·3·3·3·3 = 243. The base 3 appears 5 times in the repeated multiplication, because the exponent is 5. Here, 3 is the base, 5 is the exponent, and 243 is the power or, more specifically, the fifth power of 3 or 3 raised to the fifth power.

The word "raised" is usually omitted, and most often "power" as well, so 35 is typically pronounced "three to the fifth" or "three to the five".
