		<description>1.  for the first one, I just estimated...I tried to ignore zeroes when possible...so for the first one, I just estimated 1002 x 9 =9018
for the second one, I estimated it as 1000x9.02=9020, so guessed the second one is larger
the first one is 9021001410
the second is 902289410
so the second one is slightly, slightly larger
2.  on this one, the trick is to square both numbers...
square the square roots and get 10x5=50
square 7 and get 49
so the square roots are larger (if the square of a number is larger, its square root will be)
3.  3^5=3x3x3x3x3
      5^3=5x5x5
so you can see the largest prime factor of the first is 3
and the largest prime factor of the second is 5</description>
