4 with exponent of 78

Calculating an exponent involves raising a base number to a given power. There are multiple methods to calculate an exponent, including manual calculation, using a calculator, or employing programming languages. I'll outline the manual calculation method here:

An exponent is typically represented as an, where a is the base and n is the exponent (or power). In our example a = 4, n = 78.

Raise the base number to the power of the exponent.

478 = 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 = 9.1343852333181E+46
