Since such number N N is a multiple of 6 57 6^{57} , let N = 6 67 n N = 6^{67}n , where n n is a natural number. Since N N divides 6 75 6^{75} , we have 6 75 N = m , \dfrac {6^{75}}N = m, where m m is a natural number. Then we have:

6 75 6 57 n = m , m n = 6 18 = 2 18 3 18 \frac {6^{75}}{6^{57}n} = m, \implies mn = 6^{18} = 2^{18}\cdot 3^{18}

Then the number of N N 's is ( 18 + 1 ) ( 18 + 1 ) = 361 (18+1)(18+1) = \boxed{361} .

The "special numbers" in the question all have the form 2 a 3 b 2^a 3^b where 57 a 75 57 \le a \le 75 and 57 b 75 57 \le b \le 75 .

There are 19 19 possible values for a a , and 19 19 for b b ; we can choose these independently, so in total there are 19 × 19 = 361 19\times 19=\boxed{361} special numbers.
