Taking the tenth roots, you need to compare $3^5, 4^4, 5^3, 6^2$ since if $a > b$, $a^{10} > b^{10}$. These are $243, 256, 125, 36$. Thus the greatest is $4^{40}$

Firstly, let us forget about leading zeroes. A simple way of solving such problems is looking at patterns, how many numerals of each kind, and using the formula [Choose numerals for placing] $\times\;$[Permute them] Here there are only two possible patterns, $3-1-1-1 \;of\;a\;kind:\;\left[\binom{10}1\binom93 \right] \times[ \frac{6!}{3!}] =100,800$ $2-2-... 3 Since the answers in the linked question, I still feel are lacking, here I hope to answer in a more colorful way which avoids "division by symmetry" arguments. Begin as you have by breaking it into cases: either a single number appears three times and three other numbers appear once or two numbers appear twice each and two other numbers appear once each. ... 2 The crucial facts for the solution are: You want to compute$27^{1986} \bmod{256}3^{64} \equiv 1 \bmod{256}3\cdot1986 \equiv 6 \bmod 64$These imply that$27^{1986} = 3^{3\cdot1986} \equiv 3^6 = 729 \equiv 217\bmod{256}$. 2 Take for instance the number$2132$(base$4$). I can convert it to base$10$the following way:$2*4^3 + 1*4^2 + 3*4^1 + 2*4^0 = 158$So that means$2132$(base$4$) =$158$(base$10$). Now what if I want to convert the same number,$2132$(base$4$) to base$6$? Why can't I do the same method? Example:$2*4^3 + 1*4^2 + 3*4^1 + 2*4^0 = ...

One can represent finite trees by a Dyck word, that is a word of the context-free language $D^*$ generated by the grammar $S \to (S) + SS + 1$. The following article gives several possible enumerations for $D^*$: Zoltan Kasa, Generating and ranking of Dyck words, Acta Univ.

Here's an explanation via an application to a conrete example. $$x = 0.15\ \overbrace{504}\ 540\ 540\ 540\ \ldots \qquad (\text{“540'' repeats.})$$ Since the repetend has three digits, we multiply by $1000$ by moving the decimal point over three places: $$\begin{array}{rcc|c|cc|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c} 1000x & = & 1 & 5 & 5 & . & 4 & ... 1 You got the number to decimal, which is good. Now just take it into base 6. 6^3 = 216 is greater than 158 so we need just three digits. 6^2 \times 4 is 144, leaving 14. 6 \times 2 is 12, leaving 2, and we're done:$$2132_4 = 158_{10} = 422_6. Now, if you wanted to work in base $6$, you could, but then you're just converting each ...
