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 68 times) = 34480397154140801914148942277629516511549139031934753991714707964207295228413776117966116075286291223095671253702266847706335114428416
Therefore, 92 to the power of 68 is 34480397154140801914148942277629516511549139031934753991714707964207295228413776117966116075286291223095671253702266847706335114428416.
