"Sat Math Question

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys - wondering if any of you can crack this one.

"If a and b are positive integers and (a^(1/2)*b^(1/3))^6 = 432, then what is the quantity of ab?" - so far i solved it only through looking at the answers and using factors of those answers to plug it back into the first equation to see if it equals 432. Got lucky and got it. Any ideas? Let me know if you guys need the answers."

I believe this question was posted in another thread... ?

How can you use the Ti-89 Titanium to do things like this?
