2. How many integers $b$ exist such that the equation $x^{2}+b x-9600=0$ has an integer solution that is a multiple of both 10 and 12? Specify the largest possible $b$.
2. Solution. Since the desired integer solution $x$ is divisible by 10 and 12, it is divisible by 60, hence it can be written in the form $x=60 t, t \in Z$. Substitute $x=60 t$ into the original equation:

$3600 t^{2}+60 b t-9600=0$. Express $b: b=\frac{160}{t}-60 t$. For $b$ to be an integer, $t$ must be a divisor of the number 160. $160=2^{5} \cdot 5$. The number $160=2^{5} \cdot 5$ has 12 positive divisors: $1,2,2^{2}, 2^{3}, 2^{4}, 2^{5}, 5,2 \cdot 5,2^{2} \cdot 5,2^{3} \cdot 5,2^{4} \cdot 5,2^{5} \cdot 5$. Taking the sign into account, we get 24 divisors. Each of them corresponds to a solution $x=60 t$ and an integer $b=\frac{160}{t}-60 t$. Therefore, the number of integers $b$ that satisfy the condition of the problem is 24. Since $b$ decreases as $t$ increases, the maximum $b$ corresponds to the smallest $t=-160$, so $b_{\max }=-1+60 \cdot 160=9599$.
