Number of Divisors: 10 Divisors of 21600 Divisible by 10

[juantheron]

How many divisors of $21600$ are divisible by $10$ but not by $15$?

In order to assist our helpers in knowing just where you are stuck, can you show what you have tried or what your thoughts are on how to begin?

Prime factor of $21600 = 2^5 \times 3^3 \times 5^2$

Now No. is Divisible by $10$ If It Contain at least one factor of $5$ and $2$

and No. is Non Divisible If It not Contain at least one $3$ and $5$

Now How Can I proceed after that

Thanks

I think you are on the right track with the prime factorization. I would write it as:

$$21600=2\cdot5\left(2^4\cdot3^3\cdot5 \right)= 10\cdot2^4\cdot3^3\cdot5$$

Now looking at the factor to the right of 10, consider a divisor of 21600 of the form:

$$2^{n_1}\cdot3^{n_2}\cdot5^{n_3}$$

What are the number of choices we have for the parameters $n_i$ such that this factor is not divisible by 3? Then apply the fundamental counting principle. What do you find?
