It is usual to say
"2 raised to the power 5"
or more concisely
"2 to the power 5"
"2 to the power of 5" is also acceptable, but not "2 powered by 5".
Amongst mathematicians "2 to the 5" is shorthand, "power of" being understood.
So you should say
"2 to the power 5 divided by 2 to the power 3"
and
"What is 4 to the power 3 equal to?"

Amongst mathematicians "2 to the 5" is shorthand, "power of" being understood.
So you should say
"2 to the power 5 divided by 2 to the power 3"
and
"What is 4 to the power 3 equal to?"
