How to solve and find the value of $\log k$ equation

Question

I am doing a mathematics problem where the problem equation led me to below conclusion:

$$\log k = 52.79$$

Now I am not sure how to solve and get value of $k$? What way we can find the value of $k$?

Answer 1

$\log k = 52.79$

$10^{\log k}=k = 10^{52.79}$

That's it you are done. But if you are asked to express $10^{52.79}$ as workable value in scientific notation then:

$10^{52.79} = 10^{52}\times 10^{.79} \approx 6.16595\times 10^{52}$.

So that is APPROXIMATELY $61,659,500,186,148,216,632,034,834,387,861,000,000,000,000,000,000,000$. I can't do the last several values because ..... no-one cares.

That's good enough for government work.
