1. Homework Statement
N has total 105 factors including 1 and N. then find :
a) the total no of odd factors between 1 and N.
b) if the total number of divisors of N which are multiple of 36 are 45.then the total no of odd factors between 1 and N.
c)the number of ways in which N can be resolved into 2 factors which are relatively prime to each other is equal to 4,then the total no of odd factors between 1 and N.
d) if the total number of divisors of N which are multiple of 216 are 48,then the total no of odd factors between 1 and N.

3. The Attempt at a Solution
total number of divisors of a number a^n1*b^n2*c^n3 is equal to (n1+1)(n2+1)(n3+1)

Well, 105 = 3*5*7, so how does that help you with a) ? :smile:

we can assume N to be a2b4c6
and if check if either of a or b or c is even or not so in all 4 answers are possible... Ithink in that way please tell if I'm correct...

a b and c must be primes, so only one (or zero) of them can be even …

but there doesn't seem to be enough information to answer a) :confused:

what about parts b,c and d??:confused::confused:
 
Can you check the question?

Are you sure it doesn't start with 135 (rather than 105) ?
