3^31=6.1767X10^14=0.61767X10^15

9X3^30=1.8530X10^15

3^33=5.5591X10^15=The greater number

Hint: All 3 numbers were raised to the same exponent for ease of comparison.
For instance,5.56 is greater than 0.62 and 1.85.

To find out which of the three numbers is the greatest, we can compare their exponents. The highest exponent will correspond to the largest number.

Let's compare the exponents:
- 3^31 has an exponent of 31.
- 9 * 3^30 can be rewritten as 3^2 * 3^30, which simplifies to 3^(2+30) = 3^32. Therefore, it has an exponent of 32.
- 3^33 has an exponent of 33.

Comparing the exponents, we can see that 3^33 has the highest exponent. Therefore, 3^33 is the largest among the given numbers.
