Which of the following is NOT a factor of 12\(^{4}\) - 5\(^{4}\)?
7
13
17
49
169
Explicació
124 - 54 = (122)2 - (52)2
= (122 + 52) x (122 - 52)
(144 + 25)(144 - 25)
= (169)(119)
Factors of above 169, 17, 13, 7
= (122 + 52) x (122 - 52)
(144 + 25)(144 - 25)
= (169)(119)
Factors of above 169, 17, 13, 7
