The curve ln x / x, which decides every comparison of a^b with b^a. 5^14 against 14^5 is the same question as which of the two marked points is higher; the curve peaks at x = e.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    Compute both exactly: 5145^{14} = 6103515625 and 14514^{5} = 537824.

  2. 2

    So 5145^{14} is bigger.

  3. 3

    The reason: taking logs, aba^{b} against bab^{a} is the same as ln⁡aa\frac{\ln a}{a} against ln⁡bb\frac{\ln b}{b}. The function ln⁡xx\frac{\ln x}{x} rises until x=e≈2.718x = e \approx 2.718 and falls afterwards. Both 5 and 14 are past e, where the function is decreasing, so the larger exponent loses and 5145^{14} > 14514^{5}.
