Find the smallest positive integer N that satisfies all of the following conditions:
• N is a square.
• N is a cube.
• N is an odd number.
• N is divisible by twelve prime numbers.
How many digits does this number N have?Please Explain your steps in detail.

Dear Sir, I have been doing some rough, but I was unable to find the answer.

I have attached the rough.

So, in according to this if you can solve the problem. I will be very grateful to you.

The trouble is the divisibility by the first 12 prime numbers,
so it must be a multiple of 2*3*5*7*11*13*17*19*23*29*31*37

To be odd it must look like 2K+1

to be a square it must look like (2K+1)^2, and it must also be a cube
it must contain (2K+1)^6

so, it must have the form:
2*3*5*7*11*13*17*19*23*29*31*37(2K+1)^6
when K = 0, we get
2*3*5*7*11*13*17*19*23*29*31*37(1)^6
= 7.420738135... x 10^12
which would be 13 digits long

Please correct me if I am wrong!

I am really trying, please if anybody can solve this.

So, Please if you can solve this, I can use your answer as a reference and solve other related problems.

Please help me with my situation.
 
Just a quick note, if N is odd then it can't be divisible by 2!

Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
