Answer 1

Is 3^9 greater than 7^5?

`3^9 = 3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3= 19683`

`7^5 = 7*7*7*7*7=16807`

19683 is greater than 16807

so
`3^9 \ greater \ than \ 7^5`

Now we compare
`3^9 \ and \ 7^5`

for that we compare 19683 and 16807

19683 - 16807= 2876

19683 is 2876 more than 16807

So ,
`3^9` is 2876 greater than
`7^5`
