Problem
Let be the set of all positive integer divisors of
How many numbers are the product of two distinct elements of
Solution 1
To find the number of numbers that are the product of two distinct elements of , we first square
and factor it. Factoring, we find
. Therefore,
has
distinct factors. Each of these can be achieved by multiplying two factors of
. However, the factors must be distinct, so we eliminate
and
, as well as
and
, so the answer is
.
Solution by greersc. (Edited by AZAZ12345 and then by greersc once again)
Solution 2
The prime factorization of 100,000 is . Thus, we choose two numbers
and
where
and
, whose product is
, where
and
.
Consider . The number of divisors is
. However, some of the divisors of
cannot be written as a product of two distinct divisors of
, namely:
,
,
, and
. The last two can not be created because the maximum factor of 100,000 involving only 2s or 5s is only
. Since the factors chosen must be distinct, the last two numbers cannot be created because those require
or
. This gives
candidate numbers. It is not too hard to show that every number of the form
where
, and
are not both 0 or 10, can be written as a product of two distinct elements in
. Hence the answer is
.
