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:
70 x 70 x 70 x 70 x ... (for a total of 94 times) = 274925967039648275067756442392218957310066655807072342385731738594606963054248490000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Therefore, 70 to the power of 94 is 274925967039648275067756442392218957310066655807072342385731738594606963054248490000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.
