right ans . here is my method

the number is $2n^3a^6= 3m^2a^6$ ( we can choose m, n to be as low as possible)
now $n^3$ and $m^2$ shall be of the form $2^a3^b$ say $n = 2^x3^y$ and $m = 2^p3^q$

so we get $2^{3x+1}3^{3y} = 2^{2p} 3^{2q+1}$
comparing exponents on both sides $3x + 1 = 2p$ givinng $x = 1 , p = 2$
and $3y = 2q + 1$ giving $y = q = 1$
so $n = 2 * (2 * 3)^3 = 432$
$\frac{10000}{432} = 23$ and $\frac{100000}{432} = 231$ and 64 is the only $6^{th}$ power between 23 and 231 is $2^6 = 64$
hence $ans = 64n = 432 * 64 = 27648$

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
