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
or
2^5 \cdot 2^5
5^5 \cdot 5^5
121-4 = 117
2^p5^q
0 \le p, q \le 10
p,q
S
\boxed{\textbf{(C) } 117}$.
