Alright I gotta go, please answer while I'm gone.

BYE!!

anonymous · Answer

yes, you'd work from the "smallest" exponent to the base.
In your problem, 4 is raised to the 4th power to get 256. Then 44 is to the 256th power.
$$44^{4^{4}}=44^{256}$$

@peachpi Alright, thanks!

I was just wondering if it was allowed to have an exponent with an exponent.

Thanks again!

That is a very weird question but I think you can become a mathematician.
