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:
94 x 94 x 94 x 94 x ... (for a total of 100 times) = 205487477052359885945235685067246572845424635839739738959838742603457313014037104010284943436279326671344387862112146511720036208770768568795279366314788216602099004251084292188536525947528204517376
Therefore, 94 to the power of 100 is 205487477052359885945235685067246572845424635839739738959838742603457313014037104010284943436279326671344387862112146511720036208770768568795279366314788216602099004251084292188536525947528204517376.
