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:
69 x 69 x 69 x 69 x ... (for a total of 67 times) = 1595471605159272689397698504139475579943767914690073788709412771181608491972941991921821799536100027353518994562236965385789
Therefore, 69 to the power of 67 is 1595471605159272689397698504139475579943767914690073788709412771181608491972941991921821799536100027353518994562236965385789.
