125^n divides 325^325
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- 325^325=(13*25)^325 = (13^325)*(5^650)
125^n=5^(3n)
power of 5 in numerator should be greater then denominator
so 650>3n and hence
n=216 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(2)
- it may be 125 ...325^325= (13*25)^325 = (13^325)*(5^650)
125^n = 5 ^ (3n)
now we can say that to divide the value we can apply the value of n as
3n < 650 so the value of n is less than 216 , it may be 125 ,100 ,150, 200 etc etc but in tcs 125 was an option - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- can any one tell me how to handle this question

- Here, in 325 there are 2 5's and in 125 there are 3 5's.
We need not to be concerned about the 13 in 325 as it is in numerator and 325^325 need to be divisible by 125^n.
In 325 times 325 ,there are 650(325*2) 5's in denominator and they have to be divisible by 125^n
So now we need 650/3=216 125.(as there are 3 5's in one 125)
Now 125^216 is divides 325^325

- 5^2010=6+3+0+1=1
8^673=8(always fr odd powers)
1*8=8 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
