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:
44 x 44 x 44 x 44 x ... (for a total of 91 times) = 358256072291793213257401060224341242522996529148233152048889141783138789298639533628255333940166993425424123241544030734230707277934872410962048057344
Therefore, 44 to the power of 91 is 358256072291793213257401060224341242522996529148233152048889141783138789298639533628255333940166993425424123241544030734230707277934872410962048057344.
