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:
53 x 53 x 53 x 53 x ... (for a total of 93 times) = 22785358856965679773548549424287627223985014265356437371545091537321151312180333054462188272052615560366784118895436470116752302183326484037610678402008642424773
Therefore, 53 to the power of 93 is 22785358856965679773548549424287627223985014265356437371545091537321151312180333054462188272052615560366784118895436470116752302183326484037610678402008642424773.
