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:
92 x 92 x 92 x 92 x ... (for a total of 100 times) = 23921187465699814917357729003135312664993688008597781826721393892080474149018994102932817560052013507802383548887353948121300192109354583239904593844238773380065104633165116132662266606416744677376
Therefore, 92 to the power of 100 is 23921187465699814917357729003135312664993688008597781826721393892080474149018994102932817560052013507802383548887353948121300192109354583239904593844238773380065104633165116132662266606416744677376.
