If x and y are integers such that 12^2 \cdot 18^3 = xy, find x+y.
122 • 183 = xy ——> xy = 144 • 5832 = 839,808
x and y could be any of the many factors of 839,808
so let's just use the two factors that we have already
been given ... namely, 144 and 5832
x + y = 144 + 5832 = 5976
This is one sum. There could be are others possible.
