Notice that 2 0 1 3 ⋅ 2 = 4 0 2 6 . Therefore, we first find the square root of 4 9 − 2 0 6 . Let this value be a − b c . Squaring both, we get 4 9 − 2 0 6 = a 2 + b 2 c − 2 a b c . This shows that 4 9 = a 2 + b 2 c and 2 0 6 = 2 a b c . This obviously shows that c = 6 . The first equation now reads a 2 + 6 b 2 = 4 9 , while simplifying the second one gives a b = 1 0 . We can easily test different values and find that a = 5 and b = 2 . Therefore, 4 9 − 2 0 6 = a − b c = 5 − 2 6 . Our original equation turns to 2 0 1 3 5 + 2 6 × 2 0 1 3 5 − 2 6 . Multiplying them, we get 2 0 1 3 ( 5 + 2 6 ) ( 5 − 2 6 ) = 2 0 1 3 2 5 − 2 4 = 2 0 1 3 1 = 1 .
