the laws of exponents state:

your equation states:

since (1 * .01) is the same as (.01), your equation becomes:

1E-72 is the same as 1 * 10^(-72)

that's what it means.

your equation becomes:

.01 is the same as 1/100 which is the same as 1/10^2 which is the same as 1 * 10^(-2).

your equation becomes:

since is equivalent to , your equation becomes:

since 1^36 is equal to 1, your equation becomes:

since is equal to , your equation becomes:

since is equal to , your equation becomes:

the equation is true because the left side is equal to the right side.

you have proven that:

(1*.01)^36 = 1E-72
