The first step is to understand what it means when a number has an exponent. The “power” 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
So re-applying these steps to our particular problem, we first convert our word problem to a base-exponent form of:
To simplify this, all that is needed is to multiply it out:
27 x 27 x 27 x 27 x ... (for a total of 92 times) = 484692503355779623124105648282456899771991010299325636103104170778993493912772657112450724999952351524853984666615135529492328107921
Therefore, 27 to the power of 92 is 484692503355779623124105648282456899771991010299325636103104170778993493912772657112450724999952351524853984666615135529492328107921.
