Hello, I don't understand when I calculate .006708 to the 180, answer is zero.
+9481 It is so close to zero that this calculator just says it is equal to zero.
There is a way to do this though, like Melody did it in this question.
0.006708180 = n
Take the log10 of both sides.
log( 0.006708180 ) = log( n )
180 log( 0.006708 ) = log( n )
-391.213 ≈ log( n )
10-391.213 ≈ n
10-391 * 10-0.213 ≈ n
10-391 * 0.612 ≈ n
So...in scientific notation...
0.006708180 ≈ 6.12 * 10-392
And WolframAlpha agrees with this answer...here

It looks like an interest rate of 8.05% compounded monthly for 15 years??!! If so, you would divide it by 1,200 to get =0.006708. But, if you want to compound it, then you have to add 1 to it =1.006708^180 =3.33145207....etc.
+2539 Hummm ... Computer analysis indicates that this is a carefully prepared a condiment for an idiot sandwich. A certain someone makes dozens of these a day. Most of them he eats himself, but this one he’s sharing with the forum. It’s not too bad; just add some mustard and cyanide and this brain-dead moment might be really good.
