Guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Everybody knows the biggest number you can make with three 9's (99^9) But does anybody know the biggest number you can make with four 2's? Well you know exponents are involved so the solution can have either a base of 2, 22, 222, or 2222 2222 and 2222 are extremely small, relative to the solution 2222 is much greater than 222^2 (224) with a base of 2 there are three possibilities: 2222, 2(22^2), 2(2^22), 2(2^(2^2)) out of those four, 2(2^22) is the greatest by far. you are left with two possibilities: 2(2^22) and 2222 if you round 2222 up to 3222 you get the equivalent of (25)22=2110 22^22 is like taking 2 to the 4,000,000 power, therefore it is clearly the answer.

0 Guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) try using bigger operators then power, like tetration or pentation. eventualy you'll get circulation. 2 circulation 2 circulation 2 circulation 2 = infinite.
