Plugging this into a calculator, you get more than one solution. The integer solution gives x=14 and y=12, but the second solution is x=4.30467 and y=21.6953. This is an interesting problem, but it should just be specified that x and y are both integers @Kaizen Cyrus .

Factorize 56693912375296 56693912375296 and get 2 12 × 7 12 2^{12}\times7^{12}

2 12 × 7 12 = 1 4 12 = x y 2^{12}\times7^{12}=14^{12}=x^y , also x + y = 14 + 12 = 26 x+y=14+12=26

Hence x y = 14 × 12 = 168 xy=14\times12=168

how do you factorize such a large number
