how does
5^21* (2^2)^11 = 5^21* (2^21 * 2)

?? i get the part where 4^11 = (2^2)^11..

but how does that become ( 2^21 *2 )
(2^2)^11 = 2^22 = 2^11 *2

Thanks kind soul and others.

Hi kind soul and others,

I was not trying to be rude, it is just that the OP had started more than one thread for the same question and I hence thought he was spamming. It was not my intention to offend anyone but if i did I am sorry about it.

Regards :)

hi Gabriel

I must say even I though it was spamming, even though I answered the question 2 times. It could still be spamming, but well best to move on.

this is a great forum, with most people very helpful.
