Does the question imply anything about which set of the 6 factors.
Because In ur example 2,4,6,8,9 the product is 2^7*3^3 which has (7+1)*(3+1)= 32 factors. Out of these 32 factors we can make 32!/30!*6! sets that have 6 members each.

UMB .. the question says list 6 factors... it can be any of the six factors ... so most obviously 5 consecutive even numbers will themselves be the factors, including the number 1, making them 6 factors.

btw, can you explain this bit "Out of these 32 factors we can make 32!/30!*6! sets that have 6 members each."

shouldn't it be 32!/(26!*6!) or am I missing something ??

How can you come up with 9? I did not list 9 in my sample set.
