Question
Compare the numbers with exponents
222^{333} and 333^{222}
Compare the numbers with exponents
222^{333} and 333^{222}
Convert the first number to the following
222^{333} = (2\cdot111)^{333} = 2^{333}\cdot 111^{333}=(2^3)^{111}\cdot 111^{222}\cdot 111^{111}
Convert the second number to
333^{222} = (3\cdot111)^{222} = 3^{222}\cdot 111^{222}=(3^2)^{111}\cdot 111^{222}
Divide the first number by the second
\dfrac{222^{333}}{333^{222} } =\dfrac{8^{111}\cdot 111^{222}\cdot 111^{111}}{9^{111}\cdot 111^{222}} =\Big( \dfrac{8}{9} \Big)^{111}\cdot 111^{111}=\Big( \dfrac{888}{9} \Big) ^{111}>1
Since the quotient is greater than 1, the first number is greater than the second one.
