Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 8
Step 1: An even factor must have exponent of (2) at least (1). Step 2: The exponent of (2) has (2) choices (1,2), while (3) has (2) choices and (5) has (2) choices. Total (2 \times 2 \times 2=8). Step 3: While counting even factors, do not take exponent (0) for (2).
