Catherine rolls a -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  =   4 * 3 * 2^2  * 5^2  =   2^4 * 3 * 5^2  =    2 2 2 2 3 5 5

 

Possible rolls

 

3  4  4   5  5  =    5!  / ( 2! * 2!)  =   30 sequences

2  4  6   5  5  =    5!  / 2!  =    60 sequences 

 

If I got them all.....90  sequences
