Explanation:


15^(10)+15^(11)+15^(12)+15^(13)

You can look at it like this:


15^(10)+15^(11)+15^(12)+15^(13)=15^(10)+15^(10)\cdot15+15^(10)\cdot15^2+15^(10)\cdot15^3\\\\=15^(10)\cdot(1+15+15^2+15^3)=15^(10)\cdot(1+15+225+3375)\\\\=15^(10)\cdot3616=15^(10)\cdot32\cdot113=15^(10)\cdot2^5\cdot113=2.085.167.812.500.000
