5^15 * 5^17 = 5^32 = 23283064365386962890625.
Rule: When multiplying two numbers with the
same base and different exponents, keep the
base the same and add the exponents.
Look at your problem:
You have 5*5*...*5 (15 times) * 5*5*...*5(17) times
or 32 fives in all.

5^(15+17) = 5^32 = (5^4)^8 = 2.3283 E22
you could also say (10/2)^32 = 10^32 / 2^32 =
10^32 / 4294967296 which may be an easier way to get the exact integer answer if you can be bothered to do the long division.
