- 2310 = 2*3*5*7*11....
A product of 1st 5 prime numbers... 5 Factors!
U need to take the product of 3 factors out of these 5 factors....
Which can be taken in two ways.....
{1 Factor}*{1 Factor}*{the rest 3 Factors}
or {1 Factor}*{2 Factors}*{the rest 2 Factors}
1st Case: There are 5*4 ways = 20 Ways
2nd Case: There are 5*6(4C2) ways = 30 Ways
A total of 50 ways in which 2310 can be expressed as a product of three factors.... - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(16)
- The Prime factors of 2310 are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11, as 2310 = 2*3*5*7*11.
Now, when 2310 is a product of three factors, two cases arise. (a) when 1 is one of the factors or the other case of two of the factors are 1's and (b) 1 is not one of the three factors.
Lets consider each of the cases individually with examples.
When two of the factors are 1's So, it should be 1 * 1* 2310. It can happen in only one way.
When 1 is one of the factors, for example 1*11*210 , here as one of the factors is 1, the remaining 5 prime factors are to be divided into two groups. So, five numbers into two groups, it can be 4 and 1 or 3 and 2
So, 1 * 4 factors * 1 factor - It can happen in 5 ways
Or, 1 * 3 factors * 2 factors, this can happen in 5c3 = 10 ways
Now the second case of 1 is not one of the factors,
5 factors are to be divided into three groups, this can be
3 factors * 1 factor * 1 factor- this can happen in 5c3 ways=10
2 factors * 2 factors & 1 factor- this can happen in 5c2 * 3c2 = 30 ways
Total = 1+5+10+10+30 = 56 ways - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(6)
- 2310 = 2*3*5*7*11
When a number can be expressed as a product of n distinct primes,
then it can be expressed as a product of 3 numbers in (3^(n+1) + 1)/2 ways - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(6)
- Ans:56
1*1*2310
1*2*(3*5*7*11)
1*3*(2*5*7*11)
1*5*(2*3*7*11)
1*7*(2*3*5*11)
