Simplify.
Can't solve this for some reason
3^3^3
( the exponent has an exponent )

3^3^3 =
3^27 =
7,625,597,484,987
The other possibility (27^3 = 19,683) just isn't as much fun!

If the exponent has an exponent you need to solve that first. Therefore 3³ = 27 and that is the exponent of the main number of your equation. So to continue you get 3^27 which equals 7625597484987 or 7.625597484987 x 10^12

You can think of this in two ways:
3^3^3 = (3^3)*(3^3)*(3^3) where * is multiplication
or
3^3^3 = 3^9 (because when you raise exponents by exponents you multiply them together)
So the answer is (27)*(27)*(27)=3^9 = 19683

I asked Google and he said this was the answer:
3^(3^3) = 7.62559748 Ã 10^12.
I'm not sure though I've never seen a problem like that. Google added the parentheses on its on so maybe it's supposed to have them?

so, what's (3^3)^3, i.e., what's the cube of 27?
The most common order of operations would have it be
3^(3^3) or 3^27

3^(3^3) = 3^27 = 7.626x10^12.
