Answer 3

and yes that only

Answer 4

dont you just use a calculator? o.O

Answer 5

how to do it without that?

Answer 6

that's one tough cookie . Need to use scientific notation to get those meanings or you can just do 1.6 x 10 ^ ???

Answer 7

uhh you do it manually :/

Answer 8

I just want a simpler answer not manual one!

Answer 9

there is none -_- there are no algebra rules for \[x^m - x^n\]

Answer 10

that's what I'm trying to do . manually. since putting 10^16 is impossible in a calculator. A calculator can only handle 9 digits.

Answer 11

unless they added one while i was sleeping in the cryogenic chamber...

Answer 12

10^4 is the easy part 10^16...hold up...

Answer 13

we can't take 10 common?it wont help :o

Answer 14

you can take 10^4 common

Answer 15

10 ^ 2 = 10 x 10
It's a real time consuming process to write 10 16 times

Answer 16

\[10^4 (10^{12} - 1)\]

Answer 17

but i dont think that will help...

Answer 18

scientific notation. I don't remember any factoring when dealing with those problems

Answer 19

999999999999 x 10000 ! nvm

Answer 20

9999999999990000 lol

Answer 21

huh? how'd that become the answer o.O

Answer 22

ummm... 1 0 fifteen more zeros. omg where is my book lol. sorry it's been years since I last dealt with this.

Answer 23

to wolfram i go..

Answer 24

lol

Answer 25

10^4 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
10 ^ 16 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x10 x 10 x 10 x 10 <--- impossible to get the answer on a calculator.

Answer 26

hmm yeah 9.99 x 10^15 lol

Answer 27

but there's no simple way of doing it :/

Answer 28

well 10^12 - 1 is 9.99 x 10^11

Answer 29

but it's 10 ^ 16 - 10 ^ 4 meaning 10^16 - 10,000

Answer 30

thats what i did!

Answer 31

9.99 x10^11 x 10^4 = 9.99 x10^15

i guess that is simple

Answer 32

i guess that's the answer :P

Answer 33

Answer 35

i developed it. my middle name is wolfram.

Answer 36

oh..!

Answer 37

I see...

Answer 38

10000000000000000-10000

Answer 39
