how do you figure out 23 to the 502 power
Let x=23^502
Take the log of both sides to get:
logx=502log23
logx=502(1.361727836
logx = 683.5873737
x= 10^683 * 10^0.5873737
x=10^683 * 3.866995626
x= 3.866995626 x 10^683
----------------------
and 27 to the 622 ?
Let x=27^622
Take the log of both sides to get:
logx=622log27
logx=890.3082613
x= 10^0.3082613 x 10^890
x=2.03358021 x 10^890
-------------
