You can use the rule for repeated exponentiation. For example: You want to convert 210 to a power of 10. Now, 10 is the same as 23.32 (to calculate this, you calculate log 10 / log 2). So, you split the exponent, 10, into two factors, one of which is 3.32: 210 = 23.32x3.01, which is equal to 103.01.
