How many factors of (2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5) will be even?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 18
Step 1: An even factor must have exponent of (2) at least (1). Step 2: (2) has (3) choices (1,2,3), (3) has (3) choices (0,1,2), and (5) has (2) choices (0,1). Total (18). Step 3: While counting even factors, do not take exponent (0) for (2).
