2016 = 2 5 × 3 2 × 7 1 2016=2^5\times 3^2\times 7^1
6 = 2 1 × 3 1 6=2^1\times 3^1
For those factors of 2016 2016 divisible by 6 6 , they have the form
2 a × 3 b × 7 c 2^a\times 3^b\times 7^c where a = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 a=1,2,3,4,5 ; b = 1 , 2 b=1,2 ; c = 0 , 1 c=0,1
The sum = ( 2 1 + 2 2 + 2 5 ) ( 3 1 + 3 2 ) ( 7 0 + 7 1 ) = 62 × 12 × 8 = 5952 (2^1+2^2+\cdots 2^5)(3^1+3^2)(7^0+7^1)=62\times 12\times 8=5952


Shouldn't the answer be 992?
