The number of 5-digit natural numbers, such that the product of their digits is 36, is _____ .
The number of 5-digit natural numbers, such that the product of their digits is 36, is _____ .
Correct Answer: 180
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is 180
Factors of 36 = 22⋅ 32⋅ 1
Five-digit combinations can be
(1, 2, 2, 3, 3) (1, 4, 3, 3, 1), (1, 9, 2, 2, 1)
(1, 4, 9, 11) (1, 2, 3, 6, 1) (1, 6, 6, 1, 1)
i.e., total numbers
\(\frac{5!}{2!2!} + \frac{5!}{2!2!} + \frac{5!}{2!2!} + \frac{5!}{3!} + \frac{5!}{2!} + \frac{5!}{3!2!}\)
= (30 × 3) + 20 + 60 + 10 = 180

Combinations
The method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter is called the combination.
- It means the combination of about ‘n’ things taken ‘k’ at a time without any repetition.
- The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
- For example, Imagine you go to a restaurant and order some soup.
- Five toppings can complement the soup, namely:
- croutons,
- orange zest,
- grated cheese,
- chopped herbs,
- fried noodles.
But you are only allowed to pick three.
- There can be several ways in which you can enhance your soup with savory.
- The selection of three toppings (subset) from the five toppings (larger set) is called a combination.
Use of Combinations:
It is used for a group of data (where the order of data doesn’t matter).
