Given that p and q are prime numbers and we need to find the number of divisors of \(p^3*q^6\)
Number of divisors of a number written in the form \(p^3*q^6\), where p and q are prime numbers is given by the following theory
Theory: To find number of factors of a number we need to write the number as product of power of prime number and add one to the powers and multiply the powers
=> (3+1)*(6+1) = 4*7 = 28
So, Answer will be D
Hope it helps!
