if bacteria multiply by 5 each hour for 24 hours how much will there be

Question

(It can't be in scientific notation and it's around 18 digits)

Answer 1

Assuming one bacterium at the beginning, the total number of bacteria after 24 hours would be:

1 x 5^24 = 596,046,447,753,906,250,000,000

So, there would be approximately 596,046,447,753,906,250,000,000 bacteria after 24 hours of multiplying by 5 each hour.
