  • B12
  • C18
  • D8

Step-by-Step Solution

Every such divisor can be written as 12m, and 12m divides 1800 exactly when m divides 1800 ÷ 12 = 150. Since , it has divisors, and each gives a different answer: 12, 24, 36, 60, 72, 120, 180, 300, 360, 600, 900 and 1800. The trap 36 is the TOTAL number of divisors of , namely . Reading the question as 'multiples of 6' gives with 18 divisors. And writing 150 as — losing the second 5 — leaves only 8.
