Math Problem Statement

but i think is 2^222

Solution

You are correct; 22222^{222} is indeed much larger than 2162^{16}.

To clarify:

  • Using the operation (22)(22)(2^2)^{(2^2)}, we get 2(222)=28=2562^{(2 \cdot 2^2)} = 2^8 = 256.
  • To go even larger, we can consider 2222=223=28=2562^{2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2} = 2^{2^3} = 2^8 = 256.
  • Finally, the correct way to maximize is 2222=224=216=65,5362^{2^{2 \cdot 2}} = 2^{2^4} = 2^{16} = 65,536, which we computed earlier.

However, 22222^{222} indeed represents an enormous number, showcasing the power of exponential growth. Let's compute and compare 22222^{222}:

22222^{222}

This number is vastly larger than 2162^{16}.

Tip: When aiming to create extremely large numbers with a limited set of digits, utilizing exponential operations (like raising a number to the power of another) often yields the largest results.
