Exponents - Quick Question
I had trouble with the following question from GMAT Prep Test 2:
What is the greatest prime factor of 4^17 - 2^28?
There is probably a very simple way of solving this problem. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
(Answer is 7)

Stacy, dr, parore, and "guest",
Thank you all so much for your time. One of my initial obsevations was the lack of "breaks" in the Manhattan test. Stacy, your piece on "letting go" was very helpfull and your participation in this forum is greatly appreciated.

Retaking, Would Love Some Help!!!
I am retaking the GMAT early next month. On my last test I scored a 710 (48Q, 40V) but I felt terrible throughout the entire verbal section. Can anyone give me some study advice? What materials are best for 700+ level verbal questions?
Thanks!!!

Vidya, I am not an expert by any means but I have the same GMAT scroe (48Q, 40V) and I have spoke with several consultants and alumni of top 10 B-schools and the general consensus seems to be to take it again if you felt like a 710 was not your best. You have nothing to lose. Focus on verbal, 2 48s ...

dr, Thank you so much for your time and incite. I think you bring up a good point about explaining the move to the admissions people. And to answer that question, I was not too fond of living in the city; I did 2 years of M&A advisory work and wanted to experience the M&A process from an int...

710 – Great to be finished!!! (48Q, 40V)
After 3 months and 100’s of dollars in Starbucks later, I have finally finished the GMAT.

I think my disappointment ...
