Question
You were assigned a locker for your books at school. You forgot the locker number but remember that two of the 12 positive factors of the locker number are 6 and 25. What is you locker number?
I calculate the answer to be 325.
Is that correct? If not will you please explain? Thank you.

hmmm. six is not a factor of 325.
6 is not a factor of 325
6 = 2*3
25 = 5*5 two factors
2*3*5*5 = 150
that is 4 factors for total of 6
then
10
30
15
75 another 4, now 10
now include 1 and 150 for 12
so I think
150
