Math Problem Statement

Which of the following is equal to (6^14) / ((2^5)(3^7))?

Solution

The given expression is:

614(25)(37)\frac{6^{14}}{(2^5)(3^7)}

We can start by breaking down 6146^{14} in terms of its prime factors:

6=2×36 = 2 \times 3 Thus, 6146^{14} can be written as:

614=(2×3)14=214×3146^{14} = (2 \times 3)^{14} = 2^{14} \times 3^{14}

Now, substitute this into the original expression:

614(25)(37)=214×31425×37\frac{6^{14}}{(2^5)(3^7)} = \frac{2^{14} \times 3^{14}}{2^5 \times 3^7}

We can simplify this by dividing the powers of 2 and 3 separately:

21425=2145=29\frac{2^{14}}{2^5} = 2^{14 - 5} = 2^9 31437=3147=37\frac{3^{14}}{3^7} = 3^{14 - 7} = 3^7

Thus, the simplified expression is:

29×372^9 \times 3^7

Now, let's compare this with the given answer choices. The correct answer is:

(29)(37)(2^9)(3^7)

This corresponds to the fourth option.
