Problem 811

Post by haroldgparker »

The problem states: "Let b(n) be the largest power of 2 that divides n. For example, b(24) = 8." (Problem 811 (View Problem))

Is a number considered to divide itself? E.g., does b(16) = 8 or 16?

I'll leave the question up in case it's helpful to someone else, but for my part, it's clear to me now that b(16)=16.
