Find the number of elements in the set

$\lbrace(a.b)\in N: 2 \leq a,b \leq2023,\:\: \log_{a}{b}+6\log_{b}{a}=5\rbrace$

$\log_{a}{b}=x$

Then,

x+5/x=6

x^2-6x=5

So, x equals to 2 or 3

For 2, it's obvious that there are {2,4}...{44,1936}

For 3, it's obvious that there are {2,8}...{12,1728}

Thus, there are 43+11=54 pairs
