To find the max.

4 letter Code from 26 alphabet can be obtained = 26*26*26*26

and

5 letter Code from 26 alphabet can be obtained = 26*26*26*26*26

Thus the answer obtained from above results = 26^4 +26^5
=27(26^4)

Its come down to factoring.

26^4 + 26^5 = 26^4(1+26) - not that you take 26^4 out of both terms

Hence = (27)26^4
