This tricky math problem revolves around the concept of divisors –a mathematical concept in Number theory. A divisor (or factor) is an integer which evenly divides a number 𝘯 without leaving a remainder. For instance, by inspection, we see that 5 is a divisor of 30, and so is 6.

Number theory is more than just manipulating numbers and discovering interesting relationships between them. In fact, Number theory is the backbone behind some modern technologies such as cryptography, device authentication, security systems, websites, and coding.

Can you solve this tricky math problem? Take the challenge and be the LAST DUO STANDING.
