What is the sum of the distinct prime integer divisors of ?
Solutions
Solution 1
The prime factorization is . Since the problem is only asking us for the distinct prime factors, we have . Their desired sum is then .
Solution 2
We notice that , since , and . We can divide by to get . This is divisible by , as . Dividing by , we have . This is clearly divisible by , leaving . We have . We know that and are both multiples of , is , and is prime. This means that the distinct prime factors are and . Their sum is .
