Problem 3:
If $2048$ is written as a product of two positive integers whose difference is as small as possible, then what is the difference?

$$2048=2^{11}=2^62^5=64*32$$
so the difference is 32.

Tahmid-please write $2^{11}$ as 2^{11} in latex,because if you write 2^11 in latex it will be$2^11$

Try to factorize $2048$ - it should be straightforward after the question.
