The prime factorisation of this number is ( 2 19 53 ) 2015 ( 5 13 31 ) 2014 (2\cdot 19\cdot 53)^{2015}(5\cdot 13\cdot 31)^{2014} , meaning it has 201 6 3 201 5 3 2016^3\cdot 2015^3 different factors. This is where we actually do need a calculator, to find out that 201 6 3 201 5 3 6.70342469 1 0 19 2016^3\cdot 2015^3 \approx \boxed{6.70342469\cdot 10^{19}} .
