Algebra.Com's Answer #559821 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The prime factorization of 2016 is 2^5 * 3^2 * 7.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore k must be at least 7, but 7! only has four 2's in its prime factorization (2, 2*2, 2*3) but enough 3's. Setting k = 8 gives the desired result, as 8! = 2016*20. \n" ); document.write( " |
