How many factors of 714 x 87 x 105 are a multiple of 160?


Answer:
Expressing  714 x 87 x 105 in terms of prime factors we have
25 x 714 x 221 x 55 = 226 x 714 x 55
Expressing 160 in terms of prime factors we have
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 25 x 5
We will find the quotient when 226 x 714 x 55 is divided by 25 x 5
We get 221 x 714 x 54
To find the number of factors that are multiple of 160 we have to simple find the factors of 221 x 714 x 54
Which is (21 + 1)(14 + 1)(4 + 1) = 22 x 15 x 5 = 1650

Answer: 1650
