If w and y are both odd prime numbers and w < y, how many distinct positive integer factors does 2wy have? Choose the correct option: A) 3 B) 4 C) 6 D) 8 E) 12
Since 2wy prime factors are w^1*y^1*2^1, its total number or factors must be (1+1)(1+1)(1+1)=2^3=8. Thus, I think 8 would be the correct answer.8
