How many factors does 36^2 have?
2
8
24
25
26
I chose B (8) based on that it breaks down to four:2's and four:3's. Why is the explanation stating that you have 5 × 5 = 25 different ways to construct a factor, which makes complete sense but I suppose I didn't really understand what the question was asking for..? How would one know to do this on test day instead of picking the obvious B (8)?
