To find the number of different sequences of rolls that could have resulted in a product of 900, we need to consider the prime factorization of 900.

The prime factorization of 900 is:

900 = 2² * 3² * 5²

We can distribute these prime factors among the five rolls of the die. Since the order of the rolls matters, we can think of each roll as a "slot" where we can place one of the prime factors.

Let's consider the number of ways to distribute the prime factor 2² = 4 among the five rolls. We can have:

4 in the first roll, 0 in the second, third, fourth, and fifth rolls.

3 in the first roll, 1 in the second, 0 in the third, fourth, and fifth rolls.

2 in the first roll, 2 in the second and 0 in the third, fourth, and fifth rolls.

2 in the first roll, 1 in the second, 1 in the third, and 0 in the fourth and fifth rolls.

1 in the first roll, 1 in the second, 1 in the third, and 2 in the fourth and fifth rolls.

Now, let's consider the number of ways to distribute the prime factor 3² = 9 among the remaining slots. We can have:

9 in the first roll, 0 in the second, third, fourth, and fifth rolls.

8 in the first roll, 1 in the second, 0 in the third, fourth, and fifth rolls.

7 in the first roll, 2 in the second and 0 in the third, fourth, and fifth rolls.

6 in the first roll, 3 in the second, 0 in the third, fourth, and fifth rolls.

6 in the first roll, 2 in the second, 1 in the third, and 0 in the fourth and fifth rolls.

5 in the first roll, 4 in the second, 0 in the third, fourth, and fifth rolls.

5 in the first roll, 3 in the second, 1 in the third, and 0 in the fourth and fifth rolls.

4 in the first roll, 4 in the second, 1 in the third, and 0 in the fourth and fifth rolls.

4 in the first roll, 3 in the second, 2 in the third, and 0 in the fourth and fifth rolls.

3 in the first roll, 3 in the second, 2 in the third, and 1 in the fourth and fifth rolls.

Finally, for the remaining prime factor 5² = 25, we have only one possibility:

25 in the first roll, 0 in the second, third, fourth, and fifth rolls.

By multiplying the number of possibilities for each prime factor, we find the total number of different sequences of rolls:

5 * 10 * 1 = 50

Therefore, there are 50 different sequences of rolls that could have resulted in a product of 900.

There are 6 variables

One could be 8 and the rest zero        6 ways

One could be 7,1,0,0,0,0                  6*5=30 ways

6,1,1,0,0,0                                  6*5C2 = 60 ways

6,2,0,0,0,0                                  6*5 = 30 ways

5,1,1,1,0,0                                 6*5C3 = 60 ways

5,2,1,0,0,0                                 6*5*4 = 120 ways

5,3,0,0,0,0                                6*5 = 30 ways

4,1,1,1,1,0                                6*5 = 30 ways

4,2,1,1,0,0                                 6*5*4C2 = 180 ways

4,2,2,0,0,0                                6*5C2 = 60 ways

4,3,1,0,0,0                                6*5*4 = 120 ways

4,4,0,0,0,0,                                6*5 = 30 ways

 

3,1,1,1,1,1                                 6 ways

3,2,1,1,1,0                                 6*5*4 =  120 ways

3,2,2,1,0,0                                 6*5*4C2 = 180 ways

3,3,1,1,0,0                                 6C2*4C2 = 90 ways

3,3,2,0,0,0                                 6C2*4 = 60 ways

 

2,2,2,2,1,1                                 6C2=15 ways

2,2,2,2,2,0                                 6 ways

 

Add all those up and I think you will have your answer. :)
