\(A=\left(3+1\right)\left(3^2+1\right)\left(3^4+1\right)\left(3^8+1\right)\)
\(2A=\left(3-1\right)\left(3+1\right)\left(3^2+1\right)\left(3^4+1\right)\left(3^8+1\right)\)
\(2A=\left(3^2-1\right)\left(3^2+1\right)\left(3^4+1\right)\left(3^8+1\right)\)
\(2A=\left(3^4-1\right)\left(3^4+1\right)\left(3^8+1\right)\)
\(2A=\left(3^8-1\right)\left(3^8+1\right)\)
\(2A=3^{16}-1\)
\(A=\frac{3^{16}-1}{2}\)
