Solution (using a mathematical construction):

 

The prime factors of 3240=233451Assemble the primes as multiples of three (3), and count each construction. For 3240: There can be (0, 1, 2, or 3) twos (2) in the construction of a divisor.  So there are a total of four (4) ways to use a two (2) –one of the ways is to not use it.  There can be (1, 2, 3 or 4) threes (3) in the construction of a divisor. Note that for a number to be a multiple of three (3), the number must have at least one multiple of three (3) - that is, there cannot be a zero (0) number of threes (3). So there are a total of four (4) ways to use a three (3).  There can be (0 or 1) fives (5) in the construction of a divisor.  So there are a total of two (2) ways to use a five (5) –one of the ways is to not use it. The product of these counts is 442=32 There are 32 divisors of 3240 that are multiples of three (3).
