Problem

Find the number of elements in the set

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

Solution1(Quick)

Finding the no. of elements in the set means finding no. of ordered pairs of ($a$, $b$)

$\log_{a}{b}=x$ Then, $\log_{b}{a}=\frac{1}{x}$.

$\implies$ $x+\frac{6}{x}=5$. Upon simplifying, we get $x^{2}-5x+6=0$

$\implies$ $(x-2)(x-3)=0$

So, $x$ equals to 2 or 3

For $x$ = 2, it implies that $\log_{a}{b}=2$. So, $b\:=\: a^{2}$, Hence all such pairs are of the form ($a$,$a^{2}$)

Where each number lies between 2 and 2023 (inclusive). All such pairs are (2, 4);(3, 9);(4, 16);........(44, 1936)

Total no. of these pairs = 43

For $x$ = 3, Following a similar pattern, we get the pairs as {2,8}...{12,1728} ($a$,$a^{3}$)

Total no. of these pairs = 11

Thus, there are 43+11=$\boxed{54}$ elements in the set
