Step-by-step solution

Let's solve the problem by evaluating each expression:

  • Calculate 24 2^4 :
    24=2×2×2×2=16 2^4 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 16 .
  • Calculate 37 3^7 :
    37=3×3×3×3×3×3×3=2187 3^7 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 2187 .
  • Calculate 102 10^2 :
    102=10×10=100 10^2 = 10 \times 10 = 100 .
  • Calculate 55 5^5 :
    55=5×5×5×5×5=3125 5^5 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 3125 .

Now, let's compare the computed values: 16 16 (for 24 2^4 ), 2187 2187 (for 37 3^7 ), 100 100 (for 102 10^2 ), and 3125 3125 (for 55 5^5 ).

Clearly, the value 3125 3125 is the largest among the values we've calculated.

Therefore, the expression with the greatest value is 55 5^5 .
