Let 
, in lowest terms, be the probability that a randomly chosen positive divisor of 
is an integer multiple of 
. Find 
.
Solution
, so it has 
factors. Out of these, we only want those factors of which are divisible by ; it is easy to draw a bijection to the number of factors that 
has, which is 
. Our probability is 
, and 
.
