We factor $4608$ and obtain =$512 \times 9$
also from the equation on rearrangement:
$\begin{align*} x\log_2{x} &= 4608 \\ \log_2{x^x} &= 4608 \\ x^x &= 2^{4608}\\ &= 2^{512\times 9}\\ &= \Big(2^{512}\Big)^{9}\\ &= \Big(2^{9}\Big)^{512}\\ &= \Big(2^{9}\Big)^{2^9}\\ x^x &= 512^{512} \end{align*}$
We get $x = 512$
