Solution
The prime factorization is . If has divisors, then it has exactly three prime factors, with exponents in some order.
For each of the primes , its exponent in is more than a multiple of . The exponents all have this form, so the corresponding exponents in are in some order.
In , the exponents from are therefore , in some order, along with the exponent on prime . Hence the divisor count is
Thus, the correct answer is D.
