Try with Hints


Let \(n=p_1^{k_1}p_2^{k_2}\) for some prime \(p_1,p_2\). The factors less than n of \(n^{2}\)

=\(\frac{(2k_1+1)(2k_2+1)-1}{2}\)=\(2k_1k_2+k_1+k_2\)

The number of factors of n less than n=\((k_1+1)(k_2+1)-1\)

=\(k_1k_2+k_1+k_2\)

Required number of factors =(\(2k_1k_2+k_1+k_2\))-(\(k_1k_2+k_1+k_2\))

=\(k_1k_2\)

=\(19 \times 31\)

=589.
