Maximum prime divisor of $13^4+16^5-172^2$

57 Views Asked by At

My approach:

I tried it by remainder theorem as there 13,16 which are very close and raised to the power some small powers. So if it becomes like :

$$13^4+(13+3)^5-(13*13+3)²$$

Now how should I proceed, $13$ will obviously not be the answer.
