Question

*****Hardest math problem in the world?***

Here it is: (9^62773 + 2)^83721
Yes thats (9 to the 62773 power plus 2) to the 83721 power.
Now heres the rest of the problem...after finding the Huge number i have to find its digital sum. if u dont know what that means just give me the answer to the problem. Metal to the person who gets this!! ( i just cant find a calculator that can do this!!!)

Answer 2

I think the digital root is the same as the digital sum

Answer 3

the answer is 3

Answer 4

i did the problem took 2 hours but i did it

Answer 5

Yeah.. that is what my link says

Answer 6

i didnt even post this 2 hrs ago :)

Answer 7

huh i answered it you just gave him a link

Answer 8

How did it take you two hours if this question was posted 7 minutes ago? @desigordon

Answer 9

typo

Answer 10

2 mins

Answer 11

my bad

Answer 12

Yeah, a link with the answer on it !!!! @desigordon

Answer 13

itz logarithms.....
(9^62773 + 2)^83721= 83721 x log (9^62773 + 2)

log (9^62773 + 2) = log (9^62773) +log ( 2)
log (9^62773 + 2) = 62773 log (9) + log ( 2)
log (9^62773 + 2) = 62773 (0.954242509) + ( 0.301029996)
log (9^62773 + 2) = 59900.966

So:
83721 x log (9^62773 + 2)= (83721)(59900.966)
83721 x log (9^62773 + 2) =5.01496877 × 10^9

Digital sum is
5 + 0+ 1+4+9+6+8+7+7= 47
4+7=11
1+1=2

Answer 14

I got 2. Too! @Koikkara

Answer 15

The log of the sum is NOT the sum of the logs!!!

Answer 16

really so if i click the link and its blank the answer is trhere right

Answer 17

Its 3 @Koikkara I think @e.cociuba

Answer 18

its 3

Answer 19

oh.. @desigordon It had it before

Answer 20

i said the answer first so i win

Answer 21

how is it 3??

Answer 22

The digital root of
(9^62773 + 2)^83721
is
3

Answer 23

do you know logs

Answer 24

The digital root of a number is the single digit that you get by adding all of the digits of the original number together. If the result of that is multiple digits, you add those digits together, repeating the process until you get a single digit. That digit is the digital root of the original number.

Answer 41

its a negative 2

Answer 42

not positive

Answer 43

@desigordon How do you know the digital root of (9^62773 + 2)^83721 is really 3? How did you calculate it?

Answer 44

Ya! I'm not sure if the answer if really 3 @mathstudent55. Some help would be great!

Answer 45

I have no idea what the answer is, but what I can tell you is that the link above www.thonky.com does not necessarily calculate it. It only looks at the digits you put in and ignores all other characters.
If you enter a 2 in it, it returns 2.
If you enter 23 it returns 5. So far, that's good because it's correct, but if you enter 2^3, it does not calculate that to be 8 and then return a value of 8. It will enter it as 23 (ignoring the ^ symbol) and will return a value of 5.
Since the expression you are interested in has a sum and exponents, you are getting the root digit of the digits you are inputting and not of the enormous number the expression means.

Answer 46

the real answer is 2
