The task is to find a singel positive whole number(X), where all the factors of that number(X) multiplied together equal $24^240$

  • Have you tried writing $24^240$ as a product of prime factors?

  • From my reading of the question you seem to be looking for a single positive integer where if you list all its factors and multiply them together the answer makes $24^240$ ... am I right?

First we write $24^240$ as the product of its prime factors:
$$24^240=2^7203^240$$
Then note that for any positive integer $n=prod_1=1^m p_i^alpha_i$, where each $p_i$ denotes a distinct prime number, the product of all its factors are
$$prod_i_1=0^alpha_1prod_i_2=0^alpha_2cdotsprod_i_m=0^alpha_mp_1^i_1p_2^i_2ldots p_m^i_m$$



From this information we can infer that such number $n$ has the form $2^a3^b$ for some positive integer $a,b$. Then multiplying all factors together, we have
$$prod_i=0^aprod_j=0^b2^i3^j=2^(b+1)(1+2+ldots+a)3^(a+1)(1+2+ldots+b)=2^7203^240$$
(exercise: show that the expressions on the left and middle of the equation are equal)



Now we have two equations and two unknowns in the exponents of $2$ and $3$. Can you finish the rest?
