Biggest prime factor of (3^(14) + 3^(13) − 12) = ? =3(3^(13) + 3^(12) − 4) =3(3^(13) −3 + 3^(12) −1) =3{3(3^(12) −1) + (3^(12) −1)} =3{4(3^(12) −1)} =12{(3^6 )^2 −(1)^2 } =12(3^6 −1)(3^6 +1) =12( (3^2 )^3 −1^3 )(3^2 )^3 +1^3 ) =12(3^2 −1)(3^4 +3^2 +1)(3^2 +1)(3^4 −3^2 +1) =12(8)(91)(10)(73) =12(8)(7)(13)(10)(73) 73 is the biggest prime

Another Way 3^(14) + 3^(13) − 12) =3^(13) (3+1)−12 =4(3^(13) −3) =4.3(3^(12) −1) =12(3^6 −1)(3^6 +1) =12{(3^2 )^3 −1^3 }{(3^2 )^3 +1^3 } =12(3^2 −1)(3^4 +3^2 +1)(3^2 +1)(3^4 −3^2 +1) =12.8.91.10.73 =12.8.7.13.10.73⇒73 is the biggest prime

An other version 3^(14) + 3^(13) − 12 =3^(14) −9 + 3^(13) − 3 =9(3^(12) −1)+3(3^(12) −1) =12(3^(12) −1) ....

$$\mathcal{A}{n}\:{other}\:{version} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{14}} \:+\:\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{13}} \:−\:\mathrm{12} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{14}} −\mathrm{9}\:+\:\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{13}} \:−\:\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{9}\left(\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{12}} −\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{3}\left(\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{12}} −\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{12}\left(\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{12}} −\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$.... \\ $$
