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:
44 x 44 x 44 x 44 x ... (for a total of 95 times) = 1342778151532580975437211884222612513735473198914376084261833196760815363615073641433929304119804147389858454625138215418847177025598583544037208475538817024
Therefore, 44 to the power of 95 is 1342778151532580975437211884222612513735473198914376084261833196760815363615073641433929304119804147389858454625138215418847177025598583544037208475538817024.
