A natural number has 43 divisors (excluding 1 and itself) . What is the maximum number of distinct prime factors it can have ?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 5
d) None of these
Read Solution (Total 8)
-
- no. of total divisors=43+2=45
If N=a^p*b^q*c^r.... then the number of factors of N = (p+1)(q+1)(r+1) ....
45=3*3*5
distinct prime factors are 3 and 5 therefore answer is A)2 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(36) No(13)
- no. of total divisors=43+2=45
If N=a^p*b^q*c^r.... then the number of factors of N = (p+1)(q+1)(r+1) ....
45=3*3*5
so there can be maxm 3 distinct prime factor - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(24) No(15)
