I wanted to see if it could get here they way you would if you were a person though repeat multiplication.

what is 3 to the power of 73?
3 to the power of 73 is equal to 3 raised to the 73rd power, or 3^73. This can also be written as 3 * 3 * 3 ... (73 times). It is a very large number and its value is approximately equal to 8.659e+21

if you wish to calculate it you can use the pow() function in python like this :

Copy code
pow(3,73)
or use * operator like

Copy code
3*73

is there a set of steps I could feed into a chat bot that could get the answer?
It is possible to write a set of steps for a chatbot to calculate 3 to the power of 73, but it would involve using a programming language and creating a chatbot that can understand and execute the instructions. Here is an example of how you might accomplish this:

Start by defining the base number and the exponent as variables. For example:
Copy code
base = 3
exponent = 73
Use the "pow" function or "*" operator to calculate the result.
Copy code
result = base * exponent
Output the result to the user.
Copy code
print("The result of 3 to the power of 73 is:", result)
Keep in mind that this is just an example, and you would need to implement this within the framework of a chatbot or a code that can handle inputs and outputs in natural language.

Additionally if you wish this to be implemented with a specific platform or programming language, you should specify which one you are trying to use, as the implementation will vary based on the platform or language.

what if you wrote out the specific steps for multiplying multidigit numbers
Sure! Here is an example of the steps involved in multiplying two multi-digit numbers using the traditional "long multiplication" method:

Start by writing the two numbers to be multiplied, one above the other, with the most significant digit (the leftmost digit) at the top.

Multiply the first digit of the bottom number (the number on the bottom) by the first digit of the top number, and write the result in the rightmost column.

Move one digit to the left and repeat step 2, this time multiplying the second digit of the bottom number by the first digit of the top number. Write the result of this multiplication one space to the left of the previous multiplication's result.

Continue this process for each pair of digits in the bottom and top numbers.

Once you have completed this process for every digit in the bottom number, repeat steps 2-4 for each digit in the top number, working one digit at a time to the left.

After you've completed all of the multiplications, you will have a table of results. Add up the values in each column and carry any "tens" place to the left, as in the regular addition process.

Write the final result below the original problem, like this:

Copy code
xxxx
x yyyy
---------
zzzzz
zzzzz
---------
result
This method can be a bit tedious for larger numbers, but it's a reliable way to get the correct answer, and it's a good way to build up an understanding of how multiplication works.

This is the standard method for multiplying multi-digit numbers, it helps especially when the numbers are big and hard to calculate using mental calculation but with today's technology we can use calculators or computers to perform this kind of calculation very fast.

use this process to multiple 3 with 27
Sure! Here's an example of how you would use the long multiplication process to find the product of 3 and 27:

Copy code
3
x 27
-----
81
+9
-----
90
Start by writing the two numbers to be multiplied, one above the other, with the most significant digit (the leftmost digit) at the top. 3 on top and 27 below.

Multiply the first digit of the bottom number (the number on the bottom) by the first digit of the top number, and write the result in the rightmost column. (37=21)

Move one digit to the left and repeat step 2, this time multiplying the second digit of the bottom number (2) by the first digit of the top number(3). Write the result of this multiplication one space to the left of the previous multiplication's result. (32=6)

Continue this process, you don't have any other digit to multiply, thus this step is not necessary.

Add the value you get from step 2 and step 3 (21+6=27) and write it under the problem like this:

Copy code
3
x 27
-----
27
And the final result is 27
This is the standard method for multiplying multi-digit numbers and it can help understand how multiplication works in general, as well as to check the answers with a calculator or a computer.

Turns out it's stupid...
