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:
54 x 54 x 54 x 54 x ... (for a total of 93 times) = 129604375435445957672973589110637334325370582007598963371324384683369362557850559589138914664271376390634245907947076169156480003186519926010843277657841193713664
Therefore, 54 to the power of 93 is 129604375435445957672973589110637334325370582007598963371324384683369362557850559589138914664271376390634245907947076169156480003186519926010843277657841193713664.
