Question

I have a deck of $54$ cards, and I deal all of the cards to $x$ players, with each player getting $y$ cards. If $x$ is at least $2$ and $y$ is at least $5$, then how many possible values of $x$ are there?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

We want xy=54=2*3^3 such that x is at least 2 and y is at least 5. Thus, the possible combinations (x,y) are (2,27), (3,18), (6,9), and (9,6). There are 4 such combinations.
