------------------ Comment from student: This is a GRE question. This was the answer to the question choose the factors of 12 raised
to the 17th power. It said find the prime factors of 12 first which I did and then you can read the rest of the explanation.

My response. All you were need to do was to place the original formulation "word by word" into your post.
As it was posted/presented originally, was nonsense, and I am not going (and was not going) to spend my time deciphering that writing.
Is my response totally clear to you ?
==================
I got one more comment from you, which I don't want to reproduce here.
From this comment I understood that you didn't get nothing from my previous response.
So, there is no sense to continue this discussion further.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ----------------------------------------------------
12^17 = 34 2's and 17 3's. How do find this out?
----------------------------------------------------
What do you want to figure out?
12^17 is 34 twos and 17 threes.
What do you want? Factorization into prime numbers? Simple Arithmetic.
