why does 20 to the 1440th power say infinity?!?!?!?! I need it for homework.
This number is TOO BIG for this calculator. It cannot handle large number like this one. However, I have a calculator that CAN handle numbers like this:So, 20^1440 = 3.042241988746207411907113492996 x 10^1873
Even if your calculator can't handle large numbers such as this number, you can find the answer doing the following: 20^1440. You take the log of 20, which is:1.3010299956639811952137388947245. Then you multiply this number by 1440=1,873.4831937561329211077840084033. You subtract 1,873, which the power or the exponent of 10. Then you raise 10 to power of the remaining fraction, thus:
10^.4831937561329211077840084033=3.0422419887462074119071134929958. These are the initial digits of your number X 10^1,873
