Suppose a number X = (2^m) * (3^n) * (5^p), wherein m, n, and p are positive integers.
For a number Y to be a factor of X, Y needs to be expressed as Y = (2^a) * (3^b) * (5^c), wherein a can be chosen among 0, 1, . . . m; b can be chosen among 0, 1, . . . n; and c can be chosen among 0, 1, . . . p. Therefore, the number of possible combinations of m,n,p for Y is : (m+1) * (n+1) * (p+1). The number of possible factors for X is (m+1) * (n+1) * (p+1)
Then among all these factors, at most only one factor when times itself equals X. The rest are in pairs, the product of which equals X. For the paired factors, one is greater than X^(1/2), while the other is smaller than X^(1/2).
Therefore, let's calculate (m+1) * (n+1) * (p+1). If the product is an even number Z, then Z/2 would be the number of factors that will be greater than X^(1/2). If the product is an odd number Z, then (Z - 1)/2 would be the number of factors that will be greater than X^(1/2).
For example, 15 = 3 * 5 has 4 factors, two of which are greater than 15^(1/2); while 16 = 2^4 has 5 factors (including 4, the square root of 16!), two of which are greater than 16^(1/2). |
