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:
73 x 73 x 73 x 73 x ... (for a total of 93 times) = 194547650898417762820313388556461830884648211777249444727594699480362552982575398742822978333019544994108886843840117236194000576570264767404483015934089787506471919272811433
Therefore, 73 to the power of 93 is 194547650898417762820313388556461830884648211777249444727594699480362552982575398742822978333019544994108886843840117236194000576570264767404483015934089787506471919272811433.
