(a) Compute the number of distinct divisors of 98000 (b) Compute the number of odd divisors of 98000 Anyone got any ideas how to do this?

Then d is multiplicative; i.e. if m and n are relatively prime, d(mn)=d(m)d(n). Also if p is a prime, $d(p^k)=k+1$. Now it should be obvious how to compute. Alternatively, any divisor must be of the form $2^i5^j7^k$ where $0\leq i\leq4$, $0\leq j\leq3$ and $0\leq k\leq2$. Last edited by johng40; February 10th, 2018 at 06:53 PM.
