The trick is to factor out the subtraction...

by praxis » Mon Mar 02, 2009 2:48 pm
2^34 - 2^28 = 2^6 * 2^28 - 2*28 = (2^6 - 1)*2^28

Now,

2^6 - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63 = 7*3*3

and the greatest prime factor is 7.

You're welcome - the large exponents can be intimidating, but remember without a calculator, they're not going to make you really calculate very large numbers. There's usually a trick!

excuse me praxis, just wondering if you could help.
I went on to your link, signed up etc, started doing the section on exponentials and after answering the first question right, can not go any further (in other words, the site will not let me see the other questions). Do you have any idea why?

thx

That's very odd; the site shows at least 8 questions in that category. I'll see how long it takes to get fixed!
