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:
84 x 84 x 84 x 84 x ... (for a total of 92 times) = 1080673041530994771492780554784046917613794321870840375809909803355059766773712056049439596937433322712137560489688101964614125590489581546557399353300490866249109584238562246656
Therefore, 84 to the power of 92 is 1080673041530994771492780554784046917613794321870840375809909803355059766773712056049439596937433322712137560489688101964614125590489581546557399353300490866249109584238562246656.
