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:
83 x 83 x 83 x 83 x ... (for a total of 94 times) = 2473663855672855853968207825031636854223099334787332428865754148394974871532436872515905906178501555546503689525416341328065970807484866687468624043965741233217525962059529200768729
Therefore, 83 to the power of 94 is 2473663855672855853968207825031636854223099334787332428865754148394974871532436872515905906178501555546503689525416341328065970807484866687468624043965741233217525962059529200768729.
