Question
Hello!
We badly need you help for our math exploratory project
the given is (17^21)/7
we need to formulate a question out of it and analyze certain pattern

Answer

I am not sure what the goal is here but 17 is a prime number as well as 7 and 21 is composed of two prime numbers 3 and 7. You could say let
x = 3 then what you have is 17^7x/7 or since there is a factor of 7 in both the denominator and the exponent you could say let p = 7 then
17^3p/p find a solution.

Additionally you could say (8+9)^7x/7 also.
