What is a quarter of 16 to the power of 40? And please explain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well a quarter of 16 is 16 divided by four which is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this is 4^40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is a giant number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Sorry, I worded it kind of weird. It's a quarter of 16^40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure now, it will be that number divided by four though, i dint know if you can just divide the 16 by 4 and the 40 by 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, this was in my math quiz and apparently the answer is 4^80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, it's 4^79

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

\[4^{2}=16 so (4^{2})^{40}=4^{80}\]

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

because when there is one nr x on exponent a and this all on the exponent b so than this two exponents we need multiply than we get x on the exponent a*b this is property of exponents if i remember correct - so check it please in your mathbook
