Problem 18
How many positive factors does 23,232 have?
Solution
We can first find the prime factorization of 
, which is 
. Now, we just add one to our powers and multiply. Therefore, the answer is 
Solution 2
Observe that $69696% =$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)264^2
\frac{1}{3}
264^2
88 \cdot 264 = 11^2 \cdot 8^2 \cdot 3 = 11^2 \cdot 2^6 \cdot 3
3 \cdot 7 \cdot 2 = 42
\boxed{\textbf{(E) }42}$.
