Find the number of digits in 20 to the 56th power

Let's actually ask for it.

Let's calculate the common logarithm of 20 to the 56th power.

\begin{eqnarray}
\log_{10}20^{56}&=&56 \log_{10}20\\
&=&56\times 1.301\cdots\\
&=&72.857
\end{eqnarray}

In other words,
We can say that $20^{56}=10^{72.857}$, so we know that $20^{56}$ has 73 digits.

How to find the number of digits

To find the number of digits in $20^{56}$, use common logarithms.

By using the common logarithm, we can calculate the power of 10, so we know the number of digits.

For example, $10^1=10$ is 2 digits.
On the other hand, $10^2=100$, so 3 digits.

So $10^a$ has $10+1$ digits.
If $a$ is a decimal, the number of digits is the integer part plus 1.

$a=11.34$ will be 12 digits.
