The sum of the base- 10 10 logarithms of the factors of 1 0 n 10^n is 792 ( log n 1 + log n 2 + . . . log n k \log n_1+\log n_2+...\log n_k ) where n k n_k are the factors of 1 0 n 10^n . What is n n ?

EDIT: The problem has been updated to 1 0 n 10^n instead of 10 n 10n .


The answer is 11.

The logarithm of a sum is the logarithm of the product.So

l o g ( π ( 1 0 n ) ) = 792 log(\pi(10^n))=792

But π ( x ) = x 0 , 5. τ ( x ) \pi(x)=x^{0,5.\tau(x)}

So ( 1 0 n ) 0 , 5. ( n + 1 ) 2 = 1 0 792 (10^n)^{0,5.(n+1)^2}=10^{792}

This is equivalent to

n . ( n + 1 ) 2 = 2.792 n.(n+1)^2=2.792

From this we can obtain n = 11 \boxed{n=11}

This question is exactly the same as this .
