Math Challenge I-B Number Theory
I do not know how to solve, in Chapter 4,
4.30.
Re: Math Challenge I-B Number Theory
With the same amount of money he can buy $4$ more roosters than the number of hens he can buy. How much do $4$ roosters cost? How much more does a hen cost than a rooster? Use this difference and the cost of the extra $4$ roosters to figure out how many hens he can buy.
Re: Math Challenge I-B Number Theory
I think you gave the wrong answer hints, because this is my problem:
Find all numbers that are multiples of 2,3,52,3,5 and have 1212 divisors.
Re: Math Challenge I-B Number Theory
My apologies, it seems I was looking at chapter 5 of algebra.
Since we want the number to have exactly $12$ divisors, it is a multiple of $3$ distinct prime numbers, and $12 = (1+1)(1+1)(2+1)$, the number must be of the form $2^a \times 3^b \times 5^c$, where two of the exponents are $1$ and one of the exponents is $2$.
What numbers can be obtain by doing this?
