5 with exponent of 86

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 = 5, n = 86.

Raise the base number to the power of the exponent.

586 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 1.2924697071141E+60
