The problem I actually wanted to solve was:
solve((250/x)^x-6000000000,1.e-5)
Sorry to say, but that is not a good problem description. Try to
formulate the problem without the "solve" function and specify clearly
what solutions you accept. For example, there is no solution to
(250/x)^x = 6000000000
if you require x to be a natural number. You probably don't want that,
but your problem description is too vague. If you leave the computer to
guess something for you then you should prepare that a possible "answer"
is not that what you expect.

PS: Maple 9.5 says
fsolve((250/x)^x-6000000000);
226.3269985
If that is of any help.
