Question 1149796
.
<pre>

{{{578/3}}} = 192.66  gives you the factor  {{{3^192}}}.


{{{578/3^2}}} = 64.22  gives you additional factor of  {{{3^64}}}.


{{{578/3^3}}} = 21.41  gives you additional factor of  {{{3^21}}}.


{{{578/3^4}}} = 7.43  gives you additional factor of  {{{3^7}}}.


{{{578/3^5}}} = 2.37  gives you additional factor of  {{{3^2}}}.


{{{578/3^6}}} = 0.79  will NOT give you additional factor of 3.


So, the maximal degree of 3 is   192 + 64 + 21 + 7 + 2 = 286.    <U>ANSWER</U>
