Typo... In the second line it should be 28^140
Find the 35th root of them then we will get 8 0 3 and 2 8 4 As 8 0 3 = 5 1 2 , 0 0 0 ; 2 8 4 = 6 1 4 , 6 5 6 ⇒ 8 0 1 0 5 < 2 8 1 4 0
I love this way but what should you do when the powers are co-prime?
Just Find the number of digits in each number.
Computing the ratio
R = 8 0 1 0 5 : 2 8 1 4 0 = 4 2 1 0 × 5 1 0 5 : 4 1 4 0 × 7 1 4 0
= 4 7 0 × 5 1 0 5 : 7 1 4 0
= ( 4 2 × 5 3 ) 3 5 : ( 7 4 ) 3 5
= ( 2 0 0 0 ) 3 5 : ( 2 4 0 1 ) 3 5
⇒ R < 1
⇒ 8 0 1 0 5 < 2 8 1 4 0
Let a=80^105 Applying log to the base 10 on both sides we get loga= 150log80 Then after multiplication we get a=10^199.82. Now b=28^140 same as above we get b=10^202.60 a<b
Use Log Base Transform: 80^105 is equal to 28^138.0805995 28^138.0805995< 28^140
much simpler solution balancing the outer exponents: (28^4)^35 > (80^3)^35

The two numbers 8 0 and 2 8 are close to a number with a raised power, so :
8 0 1 0 5 < 8 1 1 0 5 = ( 3 4 ) 1 0 5 = 3 4 2 0
2 8 1 4 0 > 2 7 1 4 0 = ( 3 3 ) 1 4 0 = 3 4 2 0
therefore :
8 0 1 0 5 < 3 4 2 0 < 2 8 1 4 0
\fbox{\$80^{105} < 28^{140}\$}
