To find the number of factors of a given number, express the number as a product of powers
of prime numbers.
In this case, 48 can be written as 16 * 3 = (24 * 3)
Now, increment the power of each of the prime numbers by 1 and multiply the result.
In this case it will be (4 + 1)*(1 + 1) = 5 * 2 = 10 (the power of 2 is 4 and the power of 3 is
1)
Therefore, there will 10 factors including 1 and 48. Excluding, these two numbers, you will
have 10 – 2 = 8 factors.

If an equation (i:e f(x)=0 ) contains all positive co-efficient of any powers of x , it has no
positive roots then.
eg: x^4+3x^2+2x+6=0 has no positive roots .
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For an equation f(x)=0 , the maximum number of positive roots it can have is the number of
sign changes in f(x) ; and the maximum number of negative roots it can have is the number
of sign changes in f(-x) .
Hence the remaining are the minimum number of imaginary roots of the equation(Since we
also know that the index of the maximum power of x is the number of roots of an equation.)

Here is a formula for finding the day of the week for ANY date.
N = d + 2m + [3(m+1)/5] + y + [y/4] - [y/100] + [y/400] + 2
where d is the number or the day of the month, m is the number of the
month, and y is the year. The brackets around the divisions mean to
drop the remainder and just use the integer part that you get.
Also, a VERY IMPORTANT RULE is the number to use for the months for
January and February. The numbers of these months are 13 and 14 of the
PREVIOUS YEAR. This means that to find the day of the week of New
Year's Day this year, 1/1/98, you must use the date 13/1/97. (It
sounds complicated, but I will do a couple of examples for you.)
After you find the number N, divide it by 7, and the REMAINDER of that
division tells you the day of the week; 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, 3 =
Tuesday, etc; BUT, if the remainder is 0, then the day is Saturday,
that is: 0 = Saturday.
As an example, let's check it out on today's date, 3/18/98. Plugging
the numbers into the formula, we get;
N = 18 + 2(3) + [3(3+1)/5] + 1998 + [1998/4] - [1998/100]
+ [1998/400] + 2
So doing the calculations, (remember to drop the remainder for the
7/8
All rights reserved by CraZZyUstad.com
divisions that are in the brackets) we get;
N = 18 + 6 + 2 + 1998 + 499 - 19 + 4 + 2 = 2510
Now divide 1510 by 7 and you will get 358 with a remainder of 4. Since
4 corresponds to Wednesday, then today must be Wednesday.
You asked about New Year's Day, so let's look at this year, 1/1/98.
Because of the "Very Important Rule," we must use the "date" 13/1/97
to find New Year's Day this year. Plugging into the formula, we get;
N = 1 + 2(13) + [3(13+1)/5] + 1997 + [1997/4] - [1997/100]
+ [1997/400] + 2
N = 1+ 26 + 8 + 1997 + 499 - 19 + 4 + 2 = 2518
Now divide 2518 by 7 and look at the remainder: 2518/7 = 359 with a
remainder of 5. Since 5 corresponds to Thursday, New Year's Day this
year was on a Thursday.
