Find the number of ordered pairs of positive integers such that .
Solution
In this problem, we want to find the number of ordered pairs such that . Let . Therefore, we want two numbers, and , such that their product is and is a perfect square. Note that there is exactly one valid for a unique , which is . This reduces the problem to finding the number of unique perfect square factors of .
Therefore, the answer is
~superagh ~TheBeast5520
Solution 2 (Official MAA)
Because , if , there must be nonnegative integers , , , and such that and . Then and The first equation has solutions corresponding to , and the second equation has solutions corresponding to . Therefore there are a total of ordered pairs such that .
