Solution: 79 to the Power of 65 is equal to 2.216975705037975e+123
Methods
Step-by-step: finding 79 to the power of 65
The first step is to understand what it means when a number has an exponent. The βpowerβ of a number indicates how many times the base would be multiplied by itself to reach the correct value.
The second step is to write the number in the base-exponent form, and lastly calculate what the final result would be. Consider the example of 2 to the power of 4: in exponent form that would be
2
4
2^4
2 4
. To solve this, we need to multiply the base, 2 by itself, 4 times -
2
β
2
β
2
β
2
2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2
2 β 2 β 2 β 2
= 16. So
2
4
=
16
2^4 = 16
2 4 = 16
.
So re-applying these steps to our particular problem, we first convert our word problem to a base-exponent form of:
7
9
65
79^{65}
7 9 65
To simplify this, all that is needed is to multiply it out:
79 x 79 x 79 x 79 x ... (for a total of 65 times) = 2.216975705037975e+123
Therefore, 79 to the power of 65 is 2.216975705037975e+123.
