Is 1.7x10 to the power of 70 is within one power of 6.0225x10 to the power of 23?

My calculation of Avogadro's number is 1.7 x 10 to the power of 70
and Avogadro's number is 6.0225 x 10 to the power of 23. I want to know if my result is acceptable.

No way, Jose! Your figure is 10^47 times too large!

If your result was in the 10^22 to 10^24 range, it might be close, but you have some serious calculational errors in there somewhere.

Not even close. You are off by a factor of 10^47. Evidently you have done something seriously wrong.

No, you are something like 47 "powers" of ten off from the correct answer.
