If a positive integer n has 211 factors,then how many prime factors does n have?

A)one
B)two
C)three
D)Four
E)cannot be determined

Let the factor be a^x*b^y.....
So (x+1)(y+1).....=211..
Now 211 is a prime number...
So only one variable x or y is 210 and the others are 0..
(210+1)(0+1)...
So the number becomes a^210..
Thus only ONE prime factor is there..

A



Hi Chetan,

Can this be done with 6k+1?

So I did it like this, 211 is 6(35)+ 1.

As 1 is the only prime factor in the factor, so n has 1 prime factor...

Am I correct here?
