x is m percent of y

Implies, x = (m/100)*y

X: 50
Y: 100

For the above values of X and Y, m should equal 50 & not 0.5.

To solve y is what percent of x, equation will be:

(Y/X)*100 = (100/50)*100

Replace 50 in above equation by M, (100/m)*100 = 10000/m

You can factorize the equation to its prime factors.

5^21 x 4^11=2 x 10^n
5^21 x 2^22 = 2 x 2^n x 5^n
5^21 x 2^22 = 2^(n+1) x 5^n

We can equate powers of either prime factor 2 or 5.

i.e. 5^21 = 5^n, gives n = 21
Or, 2^22 = 2^(n+1), gives n = 21
