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:
74 x 74 x 74 x 74 x ... (for a total of 92 times) = 9317903646854468161942486243558649857461686686296304562353498022848186680811468555742696912338848016305068619836533900195913046515804420590112003883315802641906517437054976
Therefore, 74 to the power of 92 is 9317903646854468161942486243558649857461686686296304562353498022848186680811468555742696912338848016305068619836533900195913046515804420590112003883315802641906517437054976.
