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:
67 x 67 x 67 x 67 x ... (for a total of 96 times) = 20099305868611437007385919236065252342815640168402060133217372748206836665156851624711541908340867256339476186148424002349755624312839913256284030187536759151051204339296273281
Therefore, 67 to the power of 96 is 20099305868611437007385919236065252342815640168402060133217372748206836665156851624711541908340867256339476186148424002349755624312839913256284030187536759151051204339296273281.
