The positive integer l has d ( l ) number of divisors. Let N = 2 x × 3 y × k where gcd ( 2 , k ) = 1 = gcd ( 3 , k ) = 1 . We can neglet the number of divisors of k , since it appears exactly once in each equation. From that d ( 1 8 N ) d ( 2 × 3 2 × N ) d ( 2 x + 1 × 3 y + 2 ) ( x + 2 ) ( y + 3 ) x y + 3 x + 2 y + 6 x = 2 y + 2 = d ( 2 4 N ) = d ( 2 3 × 3 × N ) = d ( 2 x + 3 × 3 y + 1 = ( x + 4 ) ( y + 2 ) = x y + 2 x + 4 y + 8 Since d ( 1 8 N ) = d ( 2 7 N ) , using a similar way we get the following: y + 2 = x By adding the two last equations: x + y + 2 0 = x + 2 y + 2 = y From that x = 2 and d ( 1 8 N ) = d ( 2 4 N ) = d ( 2 7 N ) = 1 2 Since M > 2 7 , it is clear that the minimum value of M is 2 1 2 − 1 − 2 .
Therefore the answer is 5 1 2 .
