Problem
How many positive integer divisors of 
are perfect squares or perfect cubes (or both)?
Solution 1
Prime factorizing , we get 
. A perfect square must have even powers from its prime factors, so our possible choices for our exponents of a perfect square are 
for both 
and 
. This yields 
perfect squares. Perfect cubes must have multiples of 3 for each of their prime factors' exponents, so we have either 
, or 
for both and , which yields 
perfect cubes, for a total of 
. Subtracting the overcounted powers of six (
, 
, 
, and 
), we get 
.
