Question
If $1176=2^\text{a}\times3^\text{b}\times7^\text{c},$ find a, b and c.

Answer

Given that 2, 3 and 7 are factors of 1176.
Taking out the LCM of 1176, we get $2^3\times3^1\times7^2=2^\text{a}\times3^\text{b}\times7^\text{c}$
By commparing, we get
$\text{a}=3,\ \text{b}=1$ and $\text{c}=2.$
