b) How many different sums of money can be made from the bills in a as well as one more 10$ bill
c) Why does the situation become much more complicated if another 5$ bill is added

If are the distinct prime factors of , with multiplicities (number of times they appear in the prime factorisation of ), then any of the numbers:



is a factor of and different combinations of the 's give distinct factors.

There are:



different combinations of the 's, and so distinct factors of
