Hello,
i calculated the following:
(1000+(1000/31536000))*(1.5)^31535999
How can i understand the result?
Greetings
+130511 Your calculator probably "overdosed" when it tried to calculate that "1.5" raised to a power greater than 31 million!! You probably got an "error" or "infinite" - or some such thing displayed.
Do you have any particular reason for trying to calculate such a large number??
If so...you might browse around the web......please be advised that trying to find an app that will display ALL the digits of this number is probably fruitless....
Here's a place you might start.....good luck!!

+33661 The value of 1.5^31515999 exceeds the range of the calculator here, so it just returns ∞ for this. Interestingly, instead of just returning ∞ for the whole calculation, it returns the result as a product of the result of (1000+1000/31536000) and infinity!!
$$\left({\mathtt{1\,000}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{1\,000}}}{{\mathtt{31\,536\,000}}}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{1.5}}}^{{\mathtt{31\,535\,999}}} = {\mathtt{1\,000.000\: \!031\: \!709\: \!791\: \!983\: \!8}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left(\infty\right)$$
Basically, you just have to interpret this as a number too big for the calculator here to compute!
