Product of divisors

If the product of all positive divisors of 240 can be expressed as 2 α × 3 β × 5 γ , 2^\alpha \times 3^\beta \times 5^\gamma, where α , β , γ \alpha,\beta,\gamma are positive integers, submit your answer as α + β + γ 6 \dfrac{\alpha + \beta+\gamma}6 .


The answer is 10.

240 = 3 × 5 × 2 4 240=3\times5\times2^4

By Tao 240 240 has 2 × 2 × 5 = 20 2\times2\times5=20 divisors

Now each d i d_i has a d k d_k such that d i × d k = 240 d_i\times d_k=240 thus product of all divisors of 240 240 is 24 0 20 = 240 10 = 2 40 × 5 10 × 3 10 \sqrt{240^{20}}={240}^{10}=2^{40}\times5^{10}\times3^{10}

α = 40 \alpha=40

β = 10 \beta=10

γ = 10 \gamma=10 .

Finally

α + β + γ 6 = 40 + 10 + 10 6 = 10 \frac { \alpha +\beta +\gamma }{ 6}=\frac{40+10+10}{6}=\boxed{10}

nice answer...:) (y)
