Alby_da_Wolf said: To put it simpler, 10^560 simply is (10^10)^56. 10^10^10^56 is wrong anyway, 10^10^56 could be right or wrong depending on the convention used, ambiguity could entirely be avoided if normal text editors allowed multilevel apices and subscripts. We should ask that wysiwyg editors and word processors from now on were based on LaTeX. Or use professional desktop publishing tools, but I guess LaTeX and LaTeX-based tools are the cheapest way to get that power. |
It's not. I mean it is, but the OP made a mistake and we're thinking about the wrong number.
(10^3)^4 = 10^(3*4) = 10^12
(10*10*10)^4 = (1000)^4 = 1000*1000*1000*1000 = 1,000,000,000,000
but the number that the op meant to refer is not actually structured this way.
It's supposed to be structured like this:
10^(3^4) = 10^(3*3*3*3) = 10^81. This would have 81 zeroes, not 12!
The number that was originally meant to be posted is far larger than 1 followed to 560 zeroes.
