I am not sure how this would be solved without a computer but this is the result I get using Mathematica:

N[(Pi^-199.1351208912179) - (E^-227.9559242064109)]

= 5.55911x10-112

Being positive suggests that the Pi expression is greater.

pi > e

.'. pi-227>e-227

But pi-199>pi-227 (as pi28>1)

Hence pi-199>e-227

If using a calculator for this question:

-227.9559242064109*Log10e=-99

-199.1351208912179*Log10Pi=-98.99999995

Hence the one involving Pi is greater.

Isn't that inequality sign supposed to be reversed?

Templar: Use a forward slash " / " for your subscript tags. ;)
