Catherine rolls a standard 6-sided die eight times. If the product of her rolls is 2700, then how many different sequences of rolls could there have been? (The order of the rolls matters.)
prime factorization of 2700 = 2^2 * 3^3 * 5^2
Possible Factorizations Number of identifiable sequences
22333551 8! / (2! * 3! * 2!) = 3360
43335511 8! /( 2! * 3! * 2! ) = 3360
62335511 8! / ( 2! * 2! * 2!) = 5040
66355111 8! / ( 2! * 2! * 3!) = 3360
Total possible sequences = 3 (3360) + 5040 = 15120
