Every divisor of 26×35×53×72 has the form 2i×3j×5k×7l
where 0≤i≤6,0≤j≤5,0≤k≤3,0≤l≤2
For a divisor to be of the form 3r+1, it must leave remainder 1 when divided by 3.
If j≥1, the divisor contains a factor of 3, making it divisible by 3, so the remainder would be 0, not 1.
Therefore j=0, and the divisor reduces to 2i×5k×7l.
Finding remainders of each base mod 3:
2≡−1(mod3)⟹2i≡(−1)i(mod3)
5≡−1(mod3)⟹5k≡(−1)k(mod3)
7≡1(mod3)⟹7l≡1(mod3)
So the condition 2i×5k×7l≡1(mod3) becomes:
(−1)i×(−1)k×1≡1(mod3)
(−1)i+k≡1(mod3)
This means i+k must be even. The value of l does not affect the remainder, so l is free.
i+k is even when both are even or both are odd.
From i∈{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}: even values =4, odd values =3
From k∈{0,1,2,3}: even values =2, odd values =2
Number of valid (i,k) pairs =(4×2)+(3×2)
=8+6
=14
Since l can be 0,1, or 2, there are 3 choices for l.
Total divisors of the form 3r+1:
