Hi all, Pls help me with this problem? List 6 factors of the product of 5 consecutive even intergers?
My answer is: the six factors of this products will be 1 and the 5 consecutive even integers themselves. Is that right? Ex: the 5 consecutive even integers are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. So the 6 factors of this product will be: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
There is a different explanation in the MGMAT - Number Properties. I understand the explanation but want to check to see if my understanding is right or wrong. Thanks much.

Yes you are right. The product of 5 different numbers will have at least the 5 numbers as factors plus the number 1, which is a factor of all numbers
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.
