+39 I need help with these problems:
1.
initial number:5660236326063470
x=58741285
is the result of x*96358742.
how can I compute the x?
2.and what about numbers where I have only many values = 74*55*55*42*96*1858 , result is 1676962425600
how can I get these numbers when I have only the result, 1858, and number of previous numbers?
Thanks.

You have been given x, there is nothing to compute

No you can't because none of those factors are prime.
If they were all prime and you were told how many there were then you could.
+39 Aha, integer factorization.
So 1676962425600 is 2^8 * 3^2 * 5^2 * 7 * 11^2 * 37 * 929
>If they were all prime and you were told how many there were then you could
so I have 2,3,5,7,11,37,929. How can I determine correct exponents?
Thanks.
+118673 By division
or you could use the factor function on your calculator
factor(1676962425600) = (((((2^8*3^2)*5^2)*7)*11^2)*37)*929
You do not need to know how many factors, that is determined by the rest of the question.
You only need to know if 1 is included as a factor or if it is not.
