Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field with 729 elements. How many distinct proper subfields does $\mathbb{F}$ contain. Please be generous and tell the reason also.
Thanks.

Hint: a field $\;\Bbb F_{p^m}\;$ is a subfield of $\;\Bbb F_{p^n}\;$ iff $\;m\mid n\;$ .
Further hint: in order to prove the above , it may be really helpful to consider all those fields as linear spaces over their common prime field $\;\Bbb F_p\;$
