3n=6^2/m
3nm = 6^2
nm = 12
The possible combinations are:
4 & 3
6 & 2
12 & 1
Therefore, we have six positive integer
3nm = 6^2
nm = 12
The possible combinations are:
4 & 3
6 & 2
12 & 1
Therefore, we have six positive integer

m is a factor of 36.
The factors(m) of 36 are 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36.
Now we need to find the numbers such that 36/m = 3n.
so we need to find multiples of 3 when 36 is divided by its factors.
36/1 = 36(3n)
36/2 = 18(3n)
36/3 = 12(3n)
36/4 = 9(3n)
36/6 = 6(3n)
36/9 = 4
36/12 = 3(3n)
36/18 = 2
36/36 = 1
We see that there are a total of 6 numbers possible.
