AMC8 1994 · Q10. It mainly tests Divisibility & factors, Counting divisors.

For how many positive integer values of N (N > 0) is the expression $\frac{36}{N+2}$ an integer?
对于多少个正整数 N(N > 0),表达式 $\frac{36}{N+2}$ 是整数?
(A) 7 7
(B) 8 8
(C) 9 9
(D) 10 10
(E) 12 12
Answer
Correct choice: (A)
正确答案:(A)
Solution
N + 2 must be a positive integer divisor of 36 greater than 2. The positive divisors of 36 are 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36. Excluding 1 and 2, there are 7 such divisors.
$N + 2$ 必须是大于2的36的正整数除数。36的正除数是1、2、3、4、6、9、12、18、36。排除1和2后,有7个这样的除数。
