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:
91 x 91 x 91 x 91 x ... (for a total of 65 times) = 21761583845263621271403638192264556573951118688146455431008839904029693543973867972049910944335068869284517956958274453585173851
Therefore, 91 to the power of 65 is 21761583845263621271403638192264556573951118688146455431008839904029693543973867972049910944335068869284517956958274453585173851.
