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:
28 x 28 x 28 x 28 x ... (for a total of 93 times) = 385209434108803032176507917136012644081188082463039930642136595627724537852701085926001075394825788754772580593726938837885630910824448
Therefore, 28 to the power of 93 is 385209434108803032176507917136012644081188082463039930642136595627724537852701085926001075394825788754772580593726938837885630910824448.
