Problem
How many digits are in the base-ten representation of 
?
![\[\textbf{(A)}~14\qquad\textbf{(B)}~15\qquad\textbf{(C)}~16\qquad\textbf{(D)}~17\qquad\textbf{(E)}~18\qquad\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/a/f/3afbcba00b7455be27438ad5aaf1f3f3fc9c6ed6.png)
Solution 1
Prime factorizing this gives us 
Pairing 
and 
gives us a number with 
zeros giving us 15 digits. 
and this adds an extra 3 digits.
