Question

Identify the greater number, wherever possible, in the following?

100² or 2¹⁰⁰

Answer 1

100² or 2¹⁰⁰

2¹⁰ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 1024

2¹⁰⁰ = 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 = (1024)¹⁰

100² = 100 × 100 = 10000

Therefore, 2¹⁰⁰ > 100²
