I need to find the total number of divisors of $N =2^53^45^{10}7^6$ that are of the form $4n+2$, $(n\geq1)$.
My attempt:-
$4n+2 = 2(2n+1)$
Clearly exponent of $2$ is only $1$, no other option is there, so $2^1$
$3,5,7$ are themselves of the form $(2n+1)$ so all of their exponents except 0 will satisfy the relation.
So I thought that the exponent of $3$ can be - $1,2,3,4$
Exponent of $5$ can be $1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10$
Exponent of $7$ can be $1,2,3,4,5,6$
So according to me the answer would be $4 \times 10 \times 6 = 240$
But I also noticed that $2 \times 7 \times 3^0$ would also satisfy this...so I have to take the 0th exponent of 3 afterall. So how would I do this?
Yes indeed. You have to take $0^{th}$ exponent in to account in all the cases. Or basically you have to find out the number of factors of $3^45^{10}7^6$ since $2$ is fixed anyways. That gives you $(4+1)(10+1)(6+1)=385$ [You know why there is $+1$?]
Subtract one to take off the case where you counted only $2\cdot3^05^07^0=2$
