( 1 6 ÷ 1 6 ) ÷ 1 6 . . . ÷ 1 6 ÷ 1 6 = ( 6 4 ÷ 6 4 ) ÷ 6 4 ÷ 6 4 ÷ 6 4 ÷ 6 4 ÷ 6 4 ÷ 6 4
1 ÷ 1 6 N − 2 = 1 ÷ 6 4 6
1 6 2 − N = 6 4 − 6
Since 1 6 = 4 2 and 6 4 = 4 3 , therefore:
4 2 ( 2 − N ) = 4 3 × ( − 6 )
4 − 2 N = − 1 8
2 N = 2 2
N = 1 1
If there are 8 64s then that means that:
64÷64÷64÷....÷64= 64/(64^(7)) = 64^(-6)
In the same sense, if there are N number of 16s then that means that:
16÷16÷16÷....÷16= 16/[16^(N-1)]
= 16^(2-N)
so if 64^(-6) = 16^(2-N);
then [64^(-6)]^(-1)=[16^(2-N)]^(-1)
64^(6)=16^(N-2)
(4^(3))^(6)= (4^2)^(N-2)
4^(18) = 4^(2N-4)
ln[4^(18)] = ln[4^(2N-4)]
(18) ln [4] = (2N-4)ln[4]
(18) ln [4]/ln[4] = (2N-4)ln[4]/ln[4]
18 = 2N-4
18+4 = 2N
22=2N
N = 11

number of 16’s = N 1 6 ÷ 1 6 ÷ 1 6 ÷ ⋯ ÷ 1 6 = 1 6 ÷ ⎝ ⎛ number of 16’s = N − 1 1 6 × 1 6 × ⋯ × 1 6 ⎠ ⎞ = 1 6 ÷ 1 6 N − 1 = 1 6 1 − ( N − 1 ) = 1 6 2 − N .
Similarly,
number of 64’s = 8 6 4 ÷ 6 4 ÷ 6 4 ÷ ⋯ ÷ 6 4 = 6 4 ÷ ⎝ ⎛ number of 64’s = 7 6 4 × 6 4 × ⋯ × 6 4 ⎠ ⎞ = 6 4 ÷ 6 4 7 = 6 4 1 − 7 = 6 4 − 6 .
Equating these two gives
1 6 2 − N ( 4 2 ) 2 − N 4 2 ( 2 − N ) 2 ( 2 − N ) 4 − 2 N − 2 N N = = = = = = = 6 4 − 6 ( 4 3 ) − 6 4 3 ( − 6 ) 3 ( − 6 ) − 1 8 − 2 2 1 1 .
