Which of the following regarding prime factors of 360 is not TRUE? A: Total number of factors of 360 is 24. B: Total number of odd factors of 360 is 12. C: Total number of even factors of 360 is 12.
Which of the following regarding prime factors of 360 is not TRUE? A: Total number of factors of 360 is 24. B: Total number of odd factors of 360 is 12. C: Total number of even factors of 360 is 12. Correct Answer Both B and C
GIVEN:
Prime factors of 360 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
⇒ 23 × 32 × 5
CONCEPT:
Factors of a number
FORMULA USED:
If N = ap × bq × cr × …….
Total factors = (p + 1)(q + 1)(r + 1)
Total odd factors = (q + 1)(r + 1)
Total even factors = p(q + 1)(r + 1)
CALCULATION:
360 = 23 × 32 × 5
Total factors = (3 + 1)(2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 4 × 3 × 2 = 24
Total odd factors = (2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 3 × 2 = 6
Total even factors = 3(2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 3 × 3 × 2 = 18

But even factors will be equal to odd factors will not always be true.
