+166 How many positive divisors do 8400 and 7560 have in common?
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 20 | 21 | 24 | 25 | 28 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 42 | 48 | 50 | 56 | 60 | 70 | 75 | 80 | 84 | 100 | 105 | 112 | 120 | 140 | 150 | 168 | 175 | 200 | 210 | 240 | 280 | 300 | 336 | 350 | 400 | 420 | 525 | 560 | 600 | 700 | 840 | 1050 | 1200 | 1400 | 1680 | 2100 | 2800 | 4200 | 8400 (60 divisors of 8400)

OK, young person! You just have to match them by counting them. You could also factor them first and calculate the divisors:
8400 = 2^4×3×5^2×7 (8 prime factors, 4 distinct)
7560 = 2^3×3^3×5×7 (8 prime factors, 4 distinct)
+984 I think there is an easier way.
You want to find the GCF of the two numbers and see how many factors that number has.
GCF = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
210 has
(1+1)^4 divisors.
16 will be your answer,
I hope this helps.

Gavin: Your method doesn't seem to match, since there are about 30 divisors that the two numbers have in common!!.
Gavin's method appears to be sound, but I think he made a mistake in GCF or GCD:
GCD of {7,560, 8,400} =840
840 = 2^3 * 3 * 5 * 7
Then the number of divisors of 840 is =The product of the exponents of its factors + 1 for each factor:
(3+1)(1+1)(1+1)(1+1) =32 - Total divisors, which appears to agree with the actual count above.
