> I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how many digit's a certain exponent
has.
Assuming the exponents are in the form 2^x, we can use logs. (Everybody
remember the log song from the Ren & Stimpy show?)
The exponent 2^x must be converted to 10^y, and y will be the number of
digits in the decimal representation of the number. To convert x to y,
multiply x by log 2, or divide by 3.32192.
Take for example, 15000. You'll end up getting 2^15000 = 10^(15000/3.32192)
= 10^4515.4609. Thus, the number has 4,515 (chop off the decimal) digits.
