In how many possible ways can write 3240 as product of 3 positive integers a,b,c
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- 3240=2*2*2*3*3*3*3*5;
=8!/3!*4!;

- 3240 = 2*2*2*3*3*3*3*5
we have the formula to arrange 3+ve integers as (n+r-1) C (r - 1)
so arranging 2 as ------> (3+3-1) C (3-1) = 10 ways
3 as ------> (3+4-1) C (3-1) = 15 ways
5 as ------> 3 ways
therefore total no of possible ways of writing 3240 as product of 3+ve integers = 10 * 15 * 3
= 450 ways - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- the factors of 3240 are 5,2,3,3,3,2
so the no of ways are (6*5*4)/3!2!1!=10
Becoz we are arranging the values in 6*5*4 but some value are repeated so we have to divide these values so the answer will be 10 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(24)
- there can also be combined no. at each position....
so true answer is still ambiguous - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- 60 ways! 3240 has factors- 2,2,2,9,9,5
therefore soln is :- 6!/2!*3!=60 ways - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
