Problem
How many positive integer divisors of 
are divisible by exactly 2004 positive integers?
Solution
The prime factorization of 2004 is 
. Thus the prime factorization of is 
.
We can count the number of divisors of a number by multiplying together one more than each of the exponents of the prime factors in its prime factorization. For example, the number of divisors of 
is 
.
A positive integer divisor of will be of the form 
. Thus we need to find how many 
satisfy
We can think of this as partitioning the exponents to 
and 
. So let's partition the 2's first. There are two 2's so this is equivalent to partitioning two items in three containers. We can do this in 
ways. We can partition the 3 in three ways and likewise we can partition the 167 in three ways. So we have 
as our answer.
