Problem

How many positive integers have exactly three proper divisors (positive integral divisors excluding itself), each of which is less than 50?

解析

Solution (Basic Casework and Combinations)

Suppose nn is such an integer. Because nn has 33 proper divisors, it must have 44 divisors,, so nn must be in the form n=pqn=p\cdot q or n=p3n=p^3 for distinct prime numbers pp and qq.

In the first case, the three proper divisors of nn are 11, pp and qq. Thus, we need to pick two prime numbers less than 5050. There are fifteen of these (2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,432, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43 and 4747) so there are (152)=105{15 \choose 2} =105 ways to choose a pair of primes from the list and thus 105105 numbers of the first type.

In the second case, the three proper divisors of nn are 1, pp and p2p^2. Thus we need to pick a prime number whose square is less than 5050. There are four of these (2,3,5,2, 3, 5, and 77) and so four numbers of the second type.

Thus there are 105+4=109105+4=\boxed{109} integers that meet the given conditions.
