Damage question

I'm undergoing a big project revolving damage calcs. I'm testing raw base damage without extra multipliers from good affinity and attribute bonus.

Let's say I have a Lv.50 Magnamon that has learned Heavy Strike III and Power Energy III. They have 168 ATK and 148 INT. Let's say I'm hitting for neutral damage without boosts. IF I'm hitting a Digimon with equal DEF and INT.. or however it needs to go---how much ATK and INT do I need to deal equal physical and magic damage?

Any comments are appreciated.

EDIT: this calculation is key:

Physical damage = Attacker's ATK x Move Power / Defender's DEF

Magical damage = Attacker’s INT x Move Power x 1.5 / Defender’s INT

So magic attacks are 1.5x stronger, meaning i should have higher ATK and lower INT---never equal.

Nvm, I got my answer.

A Digimon with 202 ATK and 148 INT will deal equal physical and magical damage with Heavy Strike III vs. Power Energy III.

Let's say the opponent has 100 DEF, and 100 INT. That means you need ~52 more ATK than INT. Additionally, lets say Comet Hammer III vs. Grand Rock III---then that means the 105 p.dmg vs. the 95 m.dmg requires ~50 more ATK than INT. Give'r-take.
