Why does Google show that 2^1000 = 1.07150861 × 10^301? (google.co.uk) 2 points by WorldMover 15y ago ↗ HN
[–] inportb 15y ago ↗ That looks correct to me, to the given number of significant figures. Did you expect to get all 301 digits? I don't think Google Search provides that kind of precision ;pHowever, you could easily compute this yourself... >>> 2**1000 1071508607186267320948425049060001810561404811705533607443750 3883703510511249361224931983788156958581275946729175531468251 8714528569231404359845775746985748039345677748242309854210746 0506237114187795418215304647498358194126739876755916554394607 7062914571196477686542167660429831652624386837205668069376L [–] ez77 15y ago ↗ That is, >>> 2**1000 [–] inportb 15y ago ↗ Thank you. I n00bfaced, heh. [–] icebraining 15y ago ↗ WolframAlpha does print all the digits (which makes sense, since it's their core business): http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2^1000 [–] WorldMover 15y ago ↗ I was wondering why does it show it at all, when it doesn't show 31000, or 41000 for example
