Re: What is the greatest prime factor of 2^(10)*5^4 - 2^(13)*5^2 + 2^(14)? [#permalink]

\(2^{10}*5^4 - 2^{13}*5^2 + 2^{14}\)

Taking \(2^{10}\) common

\(2^{10} (5^4 - 2^3*5^2 + 2^{4})\)

\(2^{10}(625 - 200 + 16)\)

\(2^{10}(441)\)

\(2^{10}(7 * 7 * 3 * 3)\)

The greatest prime factor \(= 7\)

Answer C

Thank you



What if we take 5^2 also as common :

2^10 * 5^2 (5^2 - 2^3 + 2^4/5^2)
2^10 * 5^2 (25 - 8 + 16/25)
2^10 * 5^2 (17.64)

And what answer will you choose? We need the greatest possible.
