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 93 times) = 1030304124911593596728029361845833181567054421877060510832166787913244612308635305169238849164458766902129618496542566681327359646834791772418457229589739634152448493532309
Therefore, 69 to the power of 93 is 1030304124911593596728029361845833181567054421877060510832166787913244612308635305169238849164458766902129618496542566681327359646834791772418457229589739634152448493532309.
