Problem

What is the product of the positive integer divisors of 100?
Solution
By listing all the positive integer divisors of 100, we find that the requested product is . Pair 1 with 100, 2 with 50, 4 with 25, and 5 with 20 to obtain 4 factors of 100, leaving one more factor of 10. In total, the product is . Notice that this method may be generalized to show that for all positive integers , the product of the the positive integer divisors of is where is the number of divisors of .
Final answer
1,\!000,\!000,\!000
