Q. 755 + 755 + 755 + 755 + 755 + 755 + 755 = ?
755+755+755+755+755+755+755
There are 7 identical terms.
Factor out =7×755
Apply law of exponents : am×an=am+n
So,
7×755=71+55=756
Ans: 756
Quick Trick:
Same power repeated k times ⇒ an+an+…(k times) = k⋅an = an+logak
For base same and k also equals base: Here, k = 7 (same as base 7)
So just add the exponent: 755×71=756
