Solution: 11 to the Power of 46 is equal to 8.017953205361335e+47
Methods
Step-by-step: finding 11 to the power of 46
The first step 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
2
4
2^4
2 4
. To solve this, we need to multiply the base, 2 by itself, 4 times -
2
⋅
2
⋅
2
⋅
2
2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2
2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 2
= 16. So
2
4
=
16
2^4 = 16
2 4 = 16
.
So re-applying these steps to our particular problem, we first convert our word problem to a base-exponent form of:
1
1
46
11^{46}
1 1 46
To simplify this, all that is needed is to multiply it out:
11 x 11 x 11 x 11 x ... (for a total of 46 times) = 8.017953205361335e+47
Therefore, 11 to the power of 46 is 8.017953205361335e+47.
