#2.1039×10^191#

Explanation:

I tried to use the calculator and is impossible due to the calculator limits.

let's use logarithms

I will use log as log base 10.

#(54)^68⋅(−13)^66=(54)^68⋅(13)^66#

#log((54)^68⋅(13)^66)=68 log 54 +66 log13#

117.8027757+73.52026125=191.323037

The resusult will be #10^191.323037=10^191xx10^0.323037=2.1039xx10^191#
