429

Explanation:

First, we look for any perfect squares that could be a factor of 464 by finding factors of 464 that divide in evenly.

4644=116
4649=51.5555
46416=29

It seems that 16 will be our highest factor, as it results in an answer of a prime #.

Now, we rework the equation as so:

464 = 1629 = 1629

Which simplifies into:

1629 = 429 = 429

Final answer: 429

429

Explanation:

For questions dealing with factors, roots, HCF and LCM of numbers, a good starting point is to write the number(s) as the product of the prime factors:

464=2×2×2×2×29

Now we know what we are working with!

464=24×29 (index of 2 is even, ÷2)

=2229

=429

29 is a prime number, so we leave it as 29, nothing can be done there!
