If p and q are distinct primes. find the number of positive divisors of
p^2 * q^2

9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for  where p and q are different prime numbers the number of positive divisors are (m+1) (n+!)

We have given

So here m=2 and n=2

So number of positive divisors =9

So the number of positive divisors of   is 9

The number of positive divisors are 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is given that p and q are prime numbers thus they will not have any divisors other that itself and 1

The number can be represented as

Thus the number can be divided by:

1)

2)

3)

4)

5)

6)

7)

Thus the number of positive divisors are 7.
