   Oh, boy. You should try to formulate your questions more carefully. In there present form they make little sense.

>what is ten to the 12th power ?

A number.

>how did you acheive the answer

I raised 10 to the power of 12.

If the above is not what you've been looking for, try posing your quesions in a different form.

   Ten to the 12th power is 1,000,000,000,000.

I arrived at this answer by multiplying 10 by itself 12 times.

   ten to the 12th power is simply 1 with 12 zeroes after it (a trillion)
there is no need to multiply anything

ten to the 100th power is 1 with 100 zeroes after it
ten to the 0th power is 1 with 0 zeroes after it (1)

tweleve times to get the answer. The mathematical
form in which to say it is ten to the twelevth power
