Would you like to ask a specific question?

Anyway, you would use logs :)

You can do it on ANY calculator using the following procedure: Example: 131^1,000.

Take the log of 131 using base 10 logs: Log (131) =2.11727129.......etc. Multiply this number by the exponent, or 1,000 here, and you get:2,117.27129. This is the answer to your question. The integer part, 2,117 is the power of ten, and the fractional part raised to 10, or 10^0.27129 forms the initial digits of the answer: 10^0.27129=1.867.... x 10^2,117. And that is your answer to 131 ^1,000 =1.867 x 10^2,117.
