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:
93 x 93 x 93 x 93 x ... (for a total of 84 times) = 2251996330545809656279421790103890846435005195661441974698381269891816617395538843367102613877581585269629429771108792336643218058821708809101811794495636715089309201
Therefore, 93 to the power of 84 is 2251996330545809656279421790103890846435005195661441974698381269891816617395538843367102613877581585269629429771108792336643218058821708809101811794495636715089309201.
