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:
94 x 94 x 94 x 94 x ... (for a total of 64 times) = 1906262174603609240179178656657625086945986037788719949935941357851066322596406102384587670757587004664979877271875661328285696
Therefore, 94 to the power of 64 is 1906262174603609240179178656657625086945986037788719949935941357851066322596406102384587670757587004664979877271875661328285696.
