The following problem is from both the 2023 AMC 10A #5 and 2023 AMC 12A #4, so both problems redirect to this page.

Problem

How many digits are in the base-ten representation of $8^5 \cdot 5^{10} \cdot 15^5$?

$\textbf{(A)}~14\qquad\textbf{(B)}~15\qquad\textbf{(C)}~16\qquad\textbf{(D)}~17\qquad\textbf{(E)}~18\qquad$

Solution 1

Prime factorizing this gives us $2^{15}\cdot3^{5}\cdot5^{15}=10^{15}\cdot3^5=243\cdot10^{15}$.

$10^{15}$ has $16$ digits and $243$ = $2.43*10^{2}$ gives us $2$ more digits. $16+2=\text{\boxed{\textbf{(E) }18}}$

$2.43*10^{17}$ has $18$ digits

Solution 2 (Bash)(Only if you don't know how to do the rest of the problems and have about 20 minutes left)

Multiplying it out, we get that $8^5 \cdot 5^{10} \cdot 15^5 = 243000000000000000$. Counting, we have the answer is $\text{\boxed{\textbf{(E) }18}}$ ~andliu766
