Answer:

67,108,864 or 4^13

Explanation:

4^6*4^7=4^13 you basically just add the exponents since the base is the same.

4⁶ · 4⁷ = 4¹³

Since these two powers have the same base of 4, you can multiply

them together by simply adding their exponents to get 4¹³.

This idea is called the product rule.

A common mistake in this problem would be to multiply

the bases together and give an answer of 16¹³.

It's important to understand however that the 4's in this problem can't

be multiplied together because they're not coefficients, they're bases.

When applying your exponent rules, your base will never change.
