I know that , and that helps me figure out that is the larges power of 2 with an integer exponent that is less than 665.
If/when I did not remember that,

and

Of course I would not write all that just to calculate . I would just write the results one after the other or one above the other:
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024,
and then I would count to find that 512 is the 9th number in that geometric sequence/progression,
so it is thwe product of with nine twos, so it's .
