At a particular moment, a restaurant has \(x\) biscuits and \(y\) patron(s), with \(x \geq 2\) and \(y \geq 1\). How many values of \(y\) are there, such that all the biscuits can be distributed among the patrons, with each patron receiving an equal of whole biscuits left over?

1) \(x=a^2b^3\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are different prime numbers
2) \(b=a+1\)
