How many factors of 1080are perfect squares?a)6b)4c)8d)12Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

The factors of 1080 which are perfect square:

1080 → 2³ × 3³ × 5

For, a number to be a perfect square, all the powers of numbers should be even number.

Power of 2 → 0 or 2
Power of 3 → 0 or 2
Power of 5 → 0

So, the factors which are perfect square are 1, 4, 9, 36.
Hence, Option B is correct.

Answer

If the question is like to find how many factors are perfect square of any number ..

step 1 -the very first step is to prime factorize it by hcf method or lcm method
eg.. here it is 1080
so we get 2×2×2 = 2³
5 = 5¹
3×3×3 = 3³

step 2- find the number of even number in the power considering 0 as a even number too
2³ = till 3 there are two (2) even numbers I. e 0,2
5¹= till 1 there are one (1) even number I. e 0
3³= till 3 there are two(2) even number i. e 0,2

step 3 - multiply the number of even numbers
2×1×2= 4 = and here is your answer

Answer

Answer

Solution:
Prime factorize 1080 as $2^3\cdot3^3\cdot5$.

A perfect square will have only even exponents of its prime factors.

Number of factors of 1080:

- $(3+1)\cdot(3+1)\cdot(1+1) = 64$ factors

Number of factors of 1080 that are perfect squares:

- $2\cdot2\cdot1 = 4$ factors

Therefore, the correct answer is option (B).

Answer

Solution:

To find the factors of 1080, we use prime factorization.

Prime factorization of 1080:

1080 = 2^3 × 3^3 × 5

To find the factors of 1080, we can list out all possible combinations of the prime factors:

Factors of 1080:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 27, 30, 36, 40, 45, 54, 60, 72, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540, 1080

To find the perfect square factors of 1080, we need to find the factors that can be written as the square of an integer.

Perfect square factors of 1080:

1, 4, 9, 36

Therefore, there are 4 perfect square factors of 1080.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
