Nice.

[@Geendle]

Thanks, bro!

[@Krmpfpks]

It is waay simpler to solve by converting it to binary. Find the largest power of 2 that fits in 400 -> 2^8 = 256 Same for the remaining 144 -> 2^7 = 128 Same for the remaining 16 -> 2^4 The approach shown in the video serves no better purpose, it’s neither faster nor more general

[@beyondoftrue]

I also thought the same way. When I realized that the base is two, I intuitively remembered converting decimal numbers to binary.

[@Geendle]

I'll post another video using this method! Thank you!

Thanks pidimo!😉

[@willvu3581]

You have to state that a, b, and c are natural numbers as well

[@Geendle]

Thanh you bro! I'll consider that in the next videos.

[@user-zr7ie6so1q]

a,b,c \in {4,7,8} would be better

[@Geendle]

Thanks! I will improve!

[@triforce9856]

I was way faster by testing numbers

[@francoismusic_]

It is not.

@@francoismusic_ But its literally just taking the max. allowed exponent 3 times
