Solutions
LEVEL - I
1. Find the number of proper divisors of the number 8820. Also find the sum of the odd proper divisors
of the number.
Ans. 4445
Sol. Here 8820 = 882 × 10 = 18 × 49 × 10
= 22 × 32 × 51 × 72
The required number of factors
= The total number of selections from
(2, 2), (3, 3), (5), (7, 7)
= (2 + 1)(2 + 1)(1 + 1)(2 + 1) – 2
4
= 3 × 3 × 2 × 3 = 54 – 2 = 52
The required sum = (30 + 31 + 32)(50 + 51)(70 + 71 + 72) – 1
= (1 + 3 + 9)(1 + 5)(1 + 7 + 49) – 1
= 13 × 6 × 57 = 4446 – 1 (2n as a factor and 1 as a odd divisor are to be excluded)

13. For a positive integer n write down all its positive integer divisors in increasing order: 1 = d1 < d2 <
….. < dk = n. Find all positive integers n divisible by 2019 such that n = d19. d20.
Sol. First note that 2019 = 3. 673 is a canonical representation of 2019.
Since didk+1 - i = n for each i ∈ (1, 2,..., k) we must have k = 38. Let
n = 3x673yp1𝝰1p2𝝰2 ….ps𝝰2.
be a canonical representation of n. Then
(x + 1)(y + 1)(𝝰1 + 1)(𝝰2 + 1).... (𝝰s + 1) = 38.
Since n is divisible by 2019 we must have x ≥ 1 and y ≥ 1. Observe now that, the only factorizations
of 38 that have two or more factors are 2 . 19 and 19 . 2. Combining this with all of the above we
conclude that s = 0 and either (x, y) = (18, 1) or (x, y) = (1, 18). Each of the two cases gives a
number n satisfying all conditions of the problem. In other words, n = 318 . 673 and n = 3.67318 are
the only solutions.
14. https://youtu.be/rBSnC0-65Y4 Determine the number of positive integer divisors of 99849999 that are
not the divisors of 99849998
Ans. 99999
Sol. Note that 998 = 2 × 499, and 499 is a prime. Any divisor of 99849999 has the form d= 2a499b, where a
and b are positive integrs between 0 and 49999. This divisor d does not divide 99849998 only n two
cases wich are either a = 49999 or b = 49999. In the first case d can be 249999, 249999499, 249999492
,….249999 49949999. In the second case d can be 49949999, 499499992,4994999922,….49949999 249999. In
each case, there are 50000 possible values, but the number 249999 49949999 is counted twice. Thus the
total number of required divisors is 2 x 50000 – 1 = 99999.
15. Let the product of all the divisors of 1440 be P. If P is divisible by 24x, then the maximum value of x
is
(a) 28 (b) 30 (c) 32 (d) 36
Ans. (b)
Sol. 1440 = 25.32 .51
No. of divisors = (5+1).(2+1).(1+1) = 36
Product of divisors = 1.2.3……. 480.720.1440. Here all the 36 divisors are written in the increasing
order. They can be clubbed into 18 pairs, as shown below.

(1.1440). (2.720).(3.480) -----etc.
Product of divisors = (1440)18 = 290.336.518 = (23.3)30.36.518 =2430.36.518 which is divisible by 24x
Maximum value of x = 30
