Length based on prime factor

by bharatv » Sat May 16, 2009 11:13 pm
For any positive integer n, the length of n is defined as the number of prime factors whose product is n. For example, the length of 75 is 3, since 75 = 3 x 5 x 5. How many two-digit positive integers have length 6?

a. none
b. one
c. two
d. three
e. four

Can any one explain on this please.?

The OA seems to be C(Two)

But how did you calculate. Is there a easy way to do this?

I don't see a simpler way other than just checking it manually..
