The positive integer has exactly 8 positive divisors including 1 and . Two of these divisors are 14 and 21. What is the sum of all 8 positive divisors of ?
Problem 595
Pick one
Official solution
Each of 14 and 21 is a divisor of .
Since , then each of 2 and 7 is also a divisor of .
Since , then 3 is a divisor of (as is 7 which we already noted).
So far, the positive divisors of are: , and 21.
Since 2 and 3 are divisors of , then their product is a divisor of .
Since and 7 are divisors of , then their product is a divisor of .
The positive divisors of are: , and 42.
We are given that has exactly 8 positive divisors including 1 and , and so we have found them all, and thus .
The sum of these 8 positive divisors is .
