The problem is stated as such: 255 is what root of 16,581,375
-------------
One way: Keep multiply 255 times itself till you get 16,581,375
------------------
Another way:
EQUATION:
255 = (16581375)^(1/x)
Take the log of both sides to get:
log255 = (1/x)log(16581375)
(1/x) = [log255]/[log16581375]
1/x = 1/3
x = 3
---------
255^3 = 16581375
