When stacks of powers exist, you evaluate it from top to the bottom, unless parentheses are present.

 

Therefore, 1010100 is a vastly larger number than asinus is making it out to be. Maybe this will help. 1010100=1010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

 

101000 is miniscule in comparison.

10^10^100=X

X=?

 

X = (1010)100 = 101000 = 10 * 10999

GB and USA:

X = 10 Trecentduotrigintillion

 

rest of the world

X = 10 Centsexsexagintilliarde

Hallo X2 !

From left to right, with the same operators.

From top to bottom, where is that determined?

 

a^2^3 = (a2)3=a2a2a2=a(23)=a6

 

sorry! smiley

You are having a bad day asinus!

 

(a2)3 is, indeed, a2*3 → a6 

 

However  a23a(23)a8
