Problem

The sum of all positive integers $m$ such that $\frac{13!}{m}$ is a perfect square can be written as $2^a3^b5^c7^d11^e13^f,$ where $a,b,c,d,e,$ and $f$ are positive integers. Find $a+b+c+d+e+f.$

Solution 1

We first rewrite $13!$ as a prime factorization, which is $2^{10}\cdot3^5\cdot5^2\cdot7\cdot11\cdot13.$

For the fraction to be a square, it needs each prime to be an even power. This means $m$ must contain $7\cdot11\cdot13$. Also, $m$ can contain any even power of $2$ up to $10$, any odd power of $3$ up to $5$, and any even power of $5$ up to $2$. The sum of $m$ is \[(2^0+2^2+2^4+2^6+2^8+2^{10})(3^1+3^3+3^5)(5^0+5^2)\cdot7\cdot11\cdot13 = 1365\cdot273\cdot26\cdot7\cdot11\cdot13 = 2\cdot3^2\cdot5\cdot7^3\cdot11\cdot13^4.\] Therefore, the answer is $1+2+1+3+1+4=\boxed{012}$.

Solution 2

The prime factorization of $13!$ is \[2^{10} \cdot 3^5 \cdot 5^2 \cdot 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 13.\] To get $\frac{13!}{m}$ a perfect square, we must have $m = 2^{2x} \cdot 3^{1 + 2y} \cdot 5^{2z} \cdot 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 13$, where $x \in \left\{ 0, 1, \cdots , 5 \right\}$, $y \in \left\{ 0, 1, 2 \right\}$, $z \in \left\{ 0, 1 \right\}$.

Hence, the sum of all feasible $m$ is \begin{align*} \sum_{x=0}^5 \sum_{y=0}^2 \sum_{z=0}^1 2^{2x} \cdot 3^{1 + 2y} \cdot 5^{2z} \cdot 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 13 & = \left( \sum_{x=0}^5 2^{2x} \right) \left( \sum_{y=0}^2 3^{1 + 2y} \right) \left( \sum_{z=0}^1 5^{2z} \right) 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 13 \\ & = \frac{4^6 - 1}{4-1} \cdot \frac{3 \cdot \left( 9^3 - 1 \right)}{9 - 1} \cdot \frac{25^2 - 1}{25 - 1} \cdot 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 13 \\ & = 2 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5 \cdot 7^3 \cdot 11 \cdot 13^4 . \end{align*}

Therefore, the answer is \begin{align*} 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 4 & = \boxed{012} . \end{align*}
