Solution I get a different first two digits | Comment 2 of 5 |
(In reply to solution to number power by Dave)

The first two digits of the sum shown should be the same as the first two digits of that number divided by 10^3000.

For each term we can get (for the power i) 10^(i*log(32)-3000) using common logs. then add these together. The subtraction of 3000 accomplishes the division specified in the preceding paragraph.

The resulting terms, and accumulated values are given (truncated to integers) by:

power     32^power / 10^3000           total so far

1990    0       707611321018523482405

The first two digits would seem to be 70.

I agree the last two digits are 24.

  10   for I=2007 to 1970 step -1
  20     N=10^(I*log(32)/log(10)-3000)
  30     T=T+N
  40     print I,int(N),int(T)
  50   next
 110   T=0:N=1
 120   for I=1 to 2007
 130     N=(N*32)@100
 140     T=(T+N)@100
 150   next
 160   print T
