Question 484302: How many possible eight character passwords can be created using only uppercase letters and numbers?
Since there's 26 different upper case letters and 10 different numbers, I think I should take 8 to the power of 260 (which is 26 times 10) but I'm not sure.

26+10 = 36
for each character we can use one of 36 letter/number.
number of possible passwords = 36^8 = 2821109907456
