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:
76 x 76 x 76 x 76 x ... (for a total of 70 times) = 453890883214507215787854210525537678387167765266166829953534183320931302119898508426791598223003430870547776617746101032540360933376
Therefore, 76 to the power of 70 is 453890883214507215787854210525537678387167765266166829953534183320931302119898508426791598223003430870547776617746101032540360933376.
