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 94 times) = 1207624019419181027998073119487244242871205756063891180691889851478021019545557651886495978418788624699439558301458132916187872015716303653993365955306458048512969
Therefore, 53 to the power of 94 is 1207624019419181027998073119487244242871205756063891180691889851478021019545557651886495978418788624699439558301458132916187872015716303653993365955306458048512969.
