Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat : Number Theory

Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat Find the sum of all even positive divisors of 1000. 1000=23×53. Now any even divisor of 1000 must contain a factor of the form 2j where j{1,2,3}. We note that 2 and 5 are the only prime factors of 1000 , so a even factor must be of the form 2j×5i where j{1,2,3} and i{0,1,2,3}. So the required sum is 3j=03i=12i×5j=3j=014×5j=14×54151=2184
