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:
58 x 58 x 58 x 58 x ... (for a total of 94 times) = 5784041427987146966830568139656429712447657245084249589930785566107573084754662564930308565901158936266854914700185626073583490365688378000015340448865336887349346304
Therefore, 58 to the power of 94 is 5784041427987146966830568139656429712447657245084249589930785566107573084754662564930308565901158936266854914700185626073583490365688378000015340448865336887349346304.
