Let n be the least positive integer such that 168 is a factor of 1134n. If m is the least positive integer such that 1134n is a factor of 168m, then m+n equals
Let n be the least positive integer such that 168 is a factor of 1134n. If m is the least positive integer such that 1134n is a factor of 168m, then m+n equals
The prime factorizations of 168 and 1134 are as follows:
168 = 23 × 3 × 7
1134 = 2 × 34 × 7
Clearly, the smallest positive integral value of n, such that 168 is a factor of 1134n is 3.
1134n = 11343 = 23 × 312 × 73
Clearly, the smallest positive integral value of m, such that 11343 is a factor of 168m is 12.
Therefore, m + n = 12 + 3 = 15
