How many ordered pairs of positive integers 
satisfy the equation 
Solution 1
Cross-multiplying gives 
We write 
as a product of two positive integers:
The products 
and 
each produce 
ordered pairs 
as we can switch the order of the factors. The product 
produces 
ordered pair 
Together, we have 
ordered pairs
