If (360=2^3\times3^2\times5), how many factors of (360) are odd?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (6)
Step 1: An odd factor must not contain the prime (2). Step 2: Power of (2) is only (0); power of (3) has (3) choices and power of (5) has (2) choices. Total (=3\times2=6). Step 3: When counting odd factors, ignore the power choices of (2) except zero.
