2^(234) >5^(100)

$$\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{234}} >\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{100}} \\ $$

Prove it?

$$\mathrm{Prove}\:\mathrm{it}? \\ $$

234 log 2≶100 log 5=100(log (((10)/2)))=  100(log 10−log 2)=100−100 log 2 ⇒  234 log 2≶100−100 log 2 ⇒  334 log 2≶100 ⇒334×0.30103>100

$$\mathrm{234}\:\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{2}\lessgtr\mathrm{100}\:\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{5}=\mathrm{100}\left(\mathrm{log}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)\right)= \\ $$$$\mathrm{100}\left(\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{10}−\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{100}−\mathrm{100}\:\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{2}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{234}\:\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{2}\lessgtr\mathrm{100}−\mathrm{100}\:\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{2}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{334}\:\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{2}\lessgtr\mathrm{100}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{334}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{30103}>\mathrm{100} \\ $$

Prove must be without calculation.  Otherwise you can just use a calculator.

(5^(100) /2^(234) )=((5×125^(33) )/(8×128^(33) ))<1⇒5^(100) <2^(234)

$$\frac{\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{100}} }{\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{234}} }=\frac{\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{125}^{\mathrm{33}} }{\mathrm{8}×\mathrm{128}^{\mathrm{33}} }<\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{100}} <\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{234}} \\ $$
