The first step a math tutor would suggest 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:
35 x 35 x 35 x 35 x ... (for a total of 76 times) = 2234453754150936337318642316317114794321365812985167009544168233602101986319012072446099637090810574591159820556640625
Therefore, 35 to the power of 76 is 2234453754150936337318642316317114794321365812985167009544168233602101986319012072446099637090810574591159820556640625.
