10800=2^4 ×3^3 ×5^2   144=2^4 ×3^2   150=2×3×5^2   x=2^(0−4) ×3^3 ×5^(0−2)   ⇒there are 5×3=15 possible values  for x.

10800=24×33×52144=24×32150=2×3×52x=204×33×502thereare5×3=15possiblevaluesforx.

x=a×3^3 ×b  a=(2^0 ,2^1 ,2^2 ,2^3 ,2^4 )  b=(5^0 ,5^1 ,5^2 )  a has 5 possibilities  b has 3 possibilities  so x=a×3^3 ×b has 5×3=15 possibilities.

x=a×33×ba=(20,21,22,23,24)b=(50,51,52)ahas5possibilitiesbhas3possibilitiessox=a×33×bhas5×3=15possibilities.
