If n is an integer and 5^n > 50,000,000, what is the least possible value of n?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 12  B) 8  C) 9  D) 10  E) 11
When you seperate the 50000000 into factors of 5 and 2 you get - &gt; 10^7 x 5^1 = 5^8 x 2^7   2 to the ^ 7 = 128 so its 128 x 5^8   that means 5^8 x 5^x must be greater   5^x &gt; 128   5^1=5   5^2=25   5^4= 625   - &gt; so x must be at least 4   5^(8+4)= 5^12   12
