Question
Find three repeater machines that will do the same work as a (× 64) machine. Draw them, or describe them using exponents.
Solution
We know that, the possible factors of 64 are 2, 4, 8. :
If 26 = 64, 43 = 64 and 82 = 64
Hence, three repeater machines that would work as a (× 64) will be (× 26), (× 43) and (× 82).
The diagram of (× 26), (× 43) and (× 82) is given below.

Two machines can be hooked together. When something is sent through this hook up, the output from the first machine becomes the input for the second. Which two machines hooked together do the same work a (× 102) machine does? Is there more than one arrangement of two machines that will work?
Similarly, repeater machine is a hypothetical machine which automatically enlarges items several times. For example, sending a piece of wire through a (× 24) machine is the same as putting it through a (× 2) machine four times. So, if you send a 3 cm piece of wire through a (× 24) machine, its length becomes 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 48 cm. It can also be written that a base (2) machine is being applied 4 times.
