Which is larger, 727464^512693 or 624610^518548? 2008-05-18
From Yahweh:
Lets say I have two very large numbers in the form of a^b: 727464^512693 and 624610^518548

I want to calculate which number is larger, but its unreasonable to type these numbers into a spreadsheet to get an answer right away. How could I determine the larger or the two numbers efficiently?
