In b is a positive integer smaller than 200 and (14b)/60 is an integer, then b has how many different positive prime factors?
Options:
(A) 2
(B) 3
(C) 5
(D) 6
(E) 8 OK. Let's think. Some random thoughts first:
7b/30 tells us that b is a factor of 30, which has 2, 3, and 5 as its prime factors. Each of them is distinct. Moreover, all multiples of 30 less than 200 can be derived by multiplying these prime factors alone. Thus, number of different prime factors is 3. The answer: (B).
