Identify the greater number in the following : 2⁹ or 9²

Solution:

Given, the numbers are 2⁹ and 9²

We have to find a greater number.

Considering 2⁹,

2⁹ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

= 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 2

= 16 × 16 × 2

= 256 × 2

= 512

Considering 9²,

9² = 9 × 9

= 81

We observe that 512 is greater than 81.

Therefore, 512 > 82
