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:
75 x 75 x 75 x 75 x ... (for a total of 63 times) = 13454253110879130282535547877881199324765662402628312634839322480709209088156445843775799176000873558223247528076171875
Therefore, 75 to the power of 63 is 13454253110879130282535547877881199324765662402628312634839322480709209088156445843775799176000873558223247528076171875.
