What is 4 to the 3rd multiplied by 4 to the fifth power?

Answer 1

4 to the third power multiplied by 4 to the 5th power can be written as

(4^3)x(4^5)

When a number is raised to a power, it means that that number is multiplied by itself as many times as the power denotes.

For example, 2 cubed, or 2^3, is two multiplied by itself three times.

2^3=2x2x2=8

In this case,

(4^3)x(4^5)=(4x4x4)x(4x4x4x4x4)

As you can see, this is the same as multiplying 4 by itself 8 times, or 4^8.

At this point, the only way to know the answer is to multiply 4 by itself 8 times.

4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4=65,536

65,536 is your answer.
