sqrt%2848k%5E7%2Aq%5E8%29
Factorise 48
sqrt%282%2A2%2A2%2A2%2A3+k%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Aq%2Aq%2Aq%2Aq%2Aq%2Aq%2Aq%2Aq%29
Since you have to find the square root
There are 2 pairs of 2 so 2*2=4 balance is 3
There are 3 pairs of k so k^3 balance k
There are 4 pairs of k so q^4balance is 1
4k%5E3sqrt%283k%29%2Aq%5E4
4k%5E3q%5E4sqrt%283k%29
