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 93 times) = 689524869867230643983743982023340089452164814785926537614158853690765814380048673124959571513074753206575077867903508614497565442169527123668288287365369395501082290342068224
Therefore, 74 to the power of 93 is 689524869867230643983743982023340089452164814785926537614158853690765814380048673124959571513074753206575077867903508614497565442169527123668288287365369395501082290342068224.
