Problem
If 
and 
are positive integers such that their product is 
what is the sum of all distinct values for 
Solution 1
Use Simon's Favorite Factoring Trick to deduce 
. We know and are positive integers and 
. So, we have the following possibilities for the pair 
. Note that we do not have to account for flipping and because the question asks for only the 
values for 
. If 
, then 
. If 
, then 
. If 
, then 
. If 
, then 
. The sum of these distinct values is 
.
