Problem
The largest divisor of is itself. What is its fifth-largest divisor?
Solution
Note that is divisible by . Then, the fifth largest factor would come from divisibility by , or , or .
Alternative method to dividing: notice that factorizes into times . Thus, the answer will have powers of 2, which means there are zeroes in the answer because each power of adds a zero.
