Problem
What is the sum of all of the positive even factors of ?
Solution
First, we find that the prime factorization of is . Note that the even divisors of 504 are precisely the integers of the form where , , and . Note also that distributing yields 18 terms, with each integer of the form (again, where , , and ) appearing exactly once. It follows that the sum of the even divisors of 504 is .
Final answer
1456
