Let a,b,c be three prime no.
since the no. of perfect square as a factor is 125
which can only be if every prime no. has power in the multiple of 2 including zeros(bcoz any no. to the power of zero is a perfect square)
so power must be 0,2,4,6,8
thereby 5*5*5=125
Since no. of cube as a factor is 27
therefore power in the prime no. will be in the multiple of 3
so power are 0,3,6
hence the no. N=a^8*b^8*c^8
hence total no. of factor is (8+1)(8+1)(8+1)=729
