8 x x x ⋯ = 4
can be expressed as c a b where a , b , and c are positive integers, a and c are relatively prime, and b is not the square of any prime. Find a b c .

Because lo g 8 4 = 3 2 we have x x ⋯ = 3 2 or x 3 2 = 3 2 Solving, we find x = 9 2 6 so a b c = 1 0 8
Hm, I haven't heard from Zehao in a while...

We can easily show that x x x . . . = 3 2 . Notice that this can be expressed as x 3 2 = 3 2 . Raising both sides of the equation by 2 3 , we get x = 3 3 2 2 = 9 2 6 . We now know a , b , and c , so simple multiplication gives us 1 0 8 .
