You can put this solution on YOUR website! the mass of the planet mars is about 6.4x10^23 kilograms. What is the largest value of x such that 2^x will divide the mass of Mars
-----------
6.4e23 = 64e22
2^6 = 64
Maybe that's what you mean.
-----------
Or,
64e22 = 2^6 * 2^22 * 5^22
--> x = 28
====================
Not a good problem, tho, since it says "about 6.4e23"
--> x = "about 28"
