\begin{diagram} 30,030=3,003\times 10 =1,001\times 3\times 10\\ =7\times 143\tim... ...es 3\times 2\times 5\\ =2\times 3\times5\times 7\times 11\times 13.\end{diagram}

14.
\begin{diagram} 100,100=100,1\times 10^2=7\times 11\times 13\times 2^2\times 5^2\\ =2^2\times 5^2\times 7\times 11\times 13.\\ \end{diagram}

16.

\begin{displaymath} 1,000,000=10^6=2^6\times 5^6.\end{displaymath}

\begin{diagram} S(30,030)=(1+2)\times (1+3)\times (1+5)\times (1+7)\times (1+11)... ...es 6\times 8\times 12\times 14\\ =2^9\times 3^3\times 7\\ =96768\\ \end{diagram}

20. Solution 1:
\begin{diagram} S(100,100)=(1+2+2^2)\times (1+5+5^2)\times (1+7)\times (1+11)\times (1+13)\\ =7\times 31\times 8\times 12\times 14\\ =291648.\\ \end{diagram}
Solution 2:
\begin{diagram} S(100,100)=\frac{2^3-1}{2-1}\cdot \frac{5^3-1}{5-1}\cdot\frac{7^... ...c{13^2-1}{13-1} =7\times 31\times 8\times 12\times 14\\ =291648.\\ \end{diagram}

22.
\begin{diagram} S(1,000,000)=\frac{2^7-1}{2-1}\cdot\frac{5^7-1}{5-1}\\ =127\times\frac{78124}{4}=127\times 19531\\ =2480437\\ \end{diagram}
