Explanation
If x is a positive integer such that \(\frac{65}{x}\) is also an integer, then x must be a factor of 65. The factors of 65 are 1, 5, 13, and 65. Thus, there are four positive integer values of x such that \(\frac{65}{x}\) is an integer.

(1) Prime factor 65: 5^1 * 13^ 1
(2) Take the exponents and add +1 to each prime number: (1+1)*(1+1)
(3) (2)(2) = 4
