Any similar problems Bunuel? Please.

Official Solution:

If \(k\) is a positive integer and \(\sqrt{6k}\) is the greatest factor of \(k\), what is the number of positive factors of \(k\)?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 6


The greatest factor of a positive integer is the integer itself. So, we are given that \(\sqrt{6k}=k\):

Square: \(6k=k^2\);

\(k(6-k)=0\);

\(k=0\) (discard because we are given that \(k\) is a positive integer) or \(k=6\). 6 has four positive factors: 1, 2, 3, and 6.


Answer: D

Check Multiples and Factors tag.
