Catherine rolls a $6$-sided die five times, and the product of her rolls is $1200.$ How many different sequences of rolls could there have been? (The order of the rolls matters.)

1200  factors  as      2^4 * 3  * 5^2 =   2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5  =  4 * 4 * 3 * 5 * 5

 

So....the number of different identifiable roll sequenes  =

 

        5!                        120      

    _______  =            ____    =     30

     2!  * 2!                      4
