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:
57 x 57 x 57 x 57 x ... (for a total of 95 times) = 64285242851736258508325553102648909769170562999404850149850643087335104023765378449092073047364728682229054783079322363377420926235916678215161758035897956372382269193
Therefore, 57 to the power of 95 is 64285242851736258508325553102648909769170562999404850149850643087335104023765378449092073047364728682229054783079322363377420926235916678215161758035897956372382269193.
