if x and y are both odd prime numbers andx < y , then how many different positive integer factors does 2 xyhave ?
"x and y are both odd prime numbers - it means either x or y is not 2 and since prime numbers have only two factors - 1 and the number itself x and y each will have ( 1 + 1 ) = 2 factors hence 2 xy will have ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) = 8 factors e is the answer"
multiply(multiply(2, add(const_1, const_1)), add(const_1, const_1))
