understanding very big numbers Interesting question which number is bigger \[27 *_{99} 15 ~~or~~ 2*_{100} 3\] every operation can be defined recursively in terms of its previous operations (1)The successive operation S(n)=n+1 (2)Addition m+n can be defined by m+1=S(m) m+S(n)=S(n+m) (3) Multiplication m*n m*1=m m*S(n)=m+(m*n) (4) exponentiation m^n m^1=m m^S(n)=m*(m^n) (5)NewOperation lets say we define operations in this manner then which of these numbers is bigger \[27 *_{99} 15~~ or~~ 2*_{100} 3\] a link where this question and this process is explained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPEYoW0Mj1U&list=PL5A714C94D40392AB&index=139
\[*_k\] is the kth new operation in this progression
you know what, just use casio calculator lol
we can try to see if there is pattern with the lower operations like
27 + 15 and 2 * 3, 2+2+2 27*15 and 2^3 , 2*2*2 27^15 and 2^2^2 <--- this is the new operation following exponentiation
wow.....
dan, you're not telling us anything new
