26^7 is the same as multplying 26 with 26 and then the product of that with 26 and the product of that... – seven times.

2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8
3^2 = 3*3 = 9

P.S.
Ever wondered why Google is called Google? It's actually a typo (plus easier to trademark) for "googol" which is the same thing as 10^100 (that's a "one" followed by 100 "zeros")
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
