NEAR IMPOSSIBLE NUMBER THEORY PROBLEM?

this is the mathematical pattern we are trying to complete: https://www.reddit.com/r/codes/comments/4lf5hr/set_of_3_codes_which_seems_to_follow_a_pattern


120 - 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,20,24,30,40,60,120 okay so those are the 16 divisors of 120, i'm betting the 3rd code is an even composite number as well, just like 120. it is composed of four distinct prime numbers multiplied together. it has a total of sixteen divisors. so we are looking for 16 divisors of a large number and we need something like this 7 × 181 × 508 but that is only an example of three distinct prime numbers, we need 4 that multiple into a large number in the thousands.

from my understanding, that is my perspective above.

i don't want anyone to solve this for me, but leading me in the right direction would help.

Hi Daniel,
 
508 isn't prime. Did you mean to type 5087?
 
What's the name of this game?
