| 320 | k | × | 2 | + | 432 | k | − | 576 | k | × | 3 | + | 80 | + | 144 | k | × | 3 | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 640 | k | + | 432 | k | − | 1728 | k | + | 80 | + | 432 | k |
| = | - | 224 | k | + | 80 |
| - | 224 | k | + | 80 | = | 0 |
| - | 224 | k | = | 0 | − | 80 |
| - | 224 | k | = | - | 80 |
| 80 | = | 224 | k |
| 224 | k | = | 80 |
| k | = | 80 | ÷ | 224 |
| = | 80 | × | 1 224 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 14 |
| k | = | 5 14 |
