Problem
Find the number of ordered triples 
where 
, 
, and 
are positive integers, is a factor of , is a factor of , and 
.
Solution
Denote 
and 
. The last condition reduces to 
. Therefore, 
is equal to one of the 9 factors of 
.
Subtracting the one, we see that 
. There are exactly 
ways to find pairs of 
if 
. Thus, there are 
solutions of .
Alternatively, note that the sum of the divisors of 
is 
(notice that after distributing, every divisor is accounted for). This evaluates to 
. Subtract 
for reasons noted above to get 
. Finally, this changes 
, so we have to add one to account for that. We get 
.
