One positive integer has exactly six positive divisors (including 1).
A different positive integer has exactly six positive divisors (including 1).
If none of the divisors are shared (other than 1) must have exactly positive divisors?

For any number, we can find the number of divisors by splitting the number into prime divisors, adding one to the powers and multiplying them together. For example: 6 0 0 Number of divisors of 6 0 0 = 2 3 × 3 1 × 5 2 = ( 3 + 1 ) × ( 1 + 1 ) × ( 2 + 1 ) = 4 × 2 × 3 = 2 4 divisors Since all numbers can be written as a product of prime factors, let us write m and n in this way: m = p 1 a 1 × p 2 a 2 × p 3 a 3 × ⋯ × p x a x n = q 1 b 1 × q 2 b 2 × q 3 b 3 × ⋯ × q y b y Where p 1 through p x and q 1 through q y are distinct primes, and a 1 through a x and b 1 through b y are integer exponents of the prime factors. Note that since m and n have no common divisors, they have no common prime factors, and so all p 's and q 's are distinct. m × n = divisors of m × n = × = = ( p 1 a 1 × p 2 a 2 × p 3 a 3 × ⋯ × p x a x ) × ( q 1 b 1 × q 2 b 2 × q 3 b 3 × ⋯ × q y b y ) ( a 1 + 1 ) × ( a 2 + 1 ) × ( a 3 + 1 ) × ⋯ × ( a x + 1 ) ( b 1 + 1 ) × ( b 2 + 1 ) × ( b 3 + 1 ) × ⋯ × ( b y + 1 ) divisors of n × divisors of m 6 × 6 So the answer is Yes, it is true
