Solution
To find
We need to determine
- The number of positive factors of 216, including 1 and 216
Approach and Working out
Expressing 216 in terms of its prime factors, we get:
- \(216 = 8 * 27 = 2^3 * 3^3\)
Hence, total number of factors of 216 = (3 + 1) x (3 + 1) = 4 x 4 = 16
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Correct Answer: Option C
