[SOC] Re: Math Problem

[Paul T. Antos]

OK , since nobody will mention it ....

12345678987654321  = 111111111 X 111111111

However, "number dudes" would continue until all prime factors are listed ( a prime is divisible only by itself and 1)

12345678987654321 =  3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 37 x 37 x 333667 x 333667

What does any of this have to with SOC, you ask? 
 
You let someone else do the work! ( google  "factor 12345678987654321" ) Save your energy for practicing how to use a straight key made out of gum wrappers! ( another story for another day )
