The first step a math tutor would suggest 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:
35 x 35 x 35 x 35 x ... (for a total of 75 times) = 63841535832883895351961209037631851266324737513861914558404806674345771037686059212745703916880302131175994873046875
Therefore, 35 to the power of 75 is 63841535832883895351961209037631851266324737513861914558404806674345771037686059212745703916880302131175994873046875.
