How many pairs(a, b) of positive integers are there such that $$a\leq b$$ and $$ab=4^{2017}$$ ?
$$ab\ =\ 4^{2017}=2^{4034}$$
The total number of factors = 4035.
out of these 4035 factors, we can choose two numbers a,b such that a<b in [4035/2] = 2017.
And since the given number is a perfect square we have one set of two equal factors.
.'. many pairs(a, b) of positive integers are there such that $$a\leq b$$ and $$ab=4^{2017}$$ = 2018.
