To solve the expression 1 + 55, we first need to calculate 5 raised to the 5th power.
Calculating 55 involves multiplying 5 by itself a total of five times:
- 5 x 5 = 25
- 25 x 5 = 125
- 125 x 5 = 625
- 625 x 5 = 3125
So, 55 equals 3125.
Now we can add 1 to this result:
1 + 3125 = 3126.
Therefore, the final answer is 3126.
