The number of digits in (when written in the usual base form) is
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
We can rewrite this as . We can also combine some of the factors to introduce factors of , whose digit count is simple to evaluate because it simply adds s. Thus, we have . We can see that this final number is with s annexed onto it. , which has digits, so the entire number has digits, .
Final answer
D
