Kudos for a correct solution.


ans 8...E
210= 2*3*5*7...
number of odd factors will be without 2.. so number of factors=(1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)=8

IMO E

Factors of 210 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7.
Apart from 2, all remaining factors are odd and will produce odd results. So basically now the question becomes, find the number of factors of (3 x 5 x 7).

Using the formula we straight away get 8. No need to list down the factors at all!

Here we go:

210 = 2 * 3 * 5 * 7


Odd factors(exclude 2) = 3^1 * 5^1 * 7^1 =====> (1+1) * (1+1) * (1+1) ----> 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

option E is correct


To add ---->

If someone is interested in finding out the number of even factors --->

{Total factor} - {Odd Factors} ---> 16 - 8 = 8

Making a factor pair table:

1 * 210
2 * 105
3 * 70
5 * 42
6 * 35
7 * 30
10 * 21
14 * 15

There are eight pairs and each pair has one odd factor.
The correct answer is E.

Answer = E = 8

\(210 = 2^1 * 3^1 * 5^1 * 7^1\)

Total factors = (1+1)(1+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 16

\(Odd factors = 2^3 = 8\)

Kudos for a correct solution.


210 = 2^1 * 3^1 * 5^1 * 7^1
We can see that all are odd numbers except 2. Multiplication with an even number yields an even number.
Total factors = (1+1)(1+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 16
Out of these we only need to consider factors of 3,5, and 7 = (1+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 8
Hence option E.

Hi rockstar23,

Your approach is correct, but you've listed the wrong answer. A minor point, but an important one.

Kudos for a correct solution.


MAGOOSH OFFICIAL SOLUTION:

Start with the prime factorization: 210 = 2*3*5*7

For odd factors, we put aside the factor of two, and look at the other prime factors.
set of exponents = {1, 1, 1}
plus 1 to each = {2, 2, 2}
product = 2*2*2 = 8

Therefore, there are 8 odd factors of 210. In case you are curious, they are {1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, and 105}

Answer: E.

Kudos for a correct solution.


Opting out even factors from total number of factors will give total odd factors.

factors of 210= 5*2*7*3

If we do not consider factors of 2, we will get total odd factors= (1+1)(1+1)(1+1)= 2*2*2= 8

Any integer * Even integer = Even integer

Therefore we do not calculate number of factors of 2.

3^1*7*1*5*1

= (2*2*2)
=8

210 = 2 * 3 * 5 * 7

Odd factors will be without 2 as factor:

Add 1 to powers of 3,5,7:

2 * 2 * 2 = 8
