A day can be evenly divided into 86,400 periods of 1 second; 43,200 periods of each 2 seconds; or in many other ways. In total, how many ways are there to divide a day into periods of seconds, where and are positive integers

96 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Ways to divide it into period of seconds

What this question implies is to determine the total number of factors of 86400

To start with, we determine the prime factorization of 86400

To do this, we continually divide 86400 by 2; when it can not be further divided, we divide by 3, then 7, then 11...

This implies that:

The number of factors d is the solved by:

Where

By comparison:

So:

Hence, there are 96 total ways

529 and 531

step-by-step explanation:

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
