How many clips did Natalia sell altogether in April and May?\nSolution: If Natalia sold clips to 48 of her friends in April, and then she sold half as many clips in May, we need to calculate how many she sold in May and then add that to the number she sold in April to find the total.\n\nHalf of 48 is calculated as follows:\n48 / 2 = 24\n\nSo, Natalia sold 24 clips in May.\n\nNow, to find the total number of clips sold in April and May, we add the two amounts together:\n48 (April) + 24 (May) = 72\n\nNatalia sold a total of 72 clips in April and May combined.\nFinal Answer: The answer is $\\boxed{72}$.\n\nProblem: How many divisors of $6^2023$ have a units digit of $1$?_gpt-4-1106-preview_0.8": ["Solution: First, let's find the prime factorization of $6^{2023}$. Since $6 = 2 \\times 3$, the prime factorization of $6^{2023}$ is $2^{2023} \\times 3^{2023}$.\n\nThe divisors of $6^{2023}$ can be written in the form $2^a \\times 3^b$ where $0 \\leq a \\leq 2023$ and $0 \\leq b \\leq 2023$.\n\nTo have a units digit of $1$, we need to consider the pattern of the units digit as we raise $2$ and $3$ to various powers.\n\nThe units digit of powers of $2$ cycles through $2, 4, 8, 6$ and then back to $2$ for every power that is $1 \\pmod{4}$.\n\nThe units digit of powers of $3$ cycles through $3, 9, 7, 1$ and then back to $3$ for every power that is $1 \\pmod{4}$.\n\nSince we want our divisors to have a units digit of $1$, we need to look at the cases where the product of the units digits from the powers of $2$ and $3$ gives us $1$.\n\nThe units digit of $1$ only appears in the cycle for powers of $3$ when the exponent is $0 \\pmod{4}$. This means that $b$ must be a multiple of $4$.\n\nFor the power of $2$, we see that raising it to any power won't give us a units digit of $1$. So we don't have any restriction on $a$; it can be any integer from $0$ to $2023$.\n\nThis means that for every power of $2$ from $2^0$ to $2^{2023}$, we can pair it with a power of $3$ that has an exponent that is a multiple of $4$ and get a divisor of $6^{2023}$ with a units digit of $1$.\n\nSince $b$ must be a multiple of $4$, there are $\\frac{2023}{4} + 1$ possible values for $b$ because we include $b=0$. (We add $1$ because we count from $0$ to $2023$, inclusive.)\n\nTherefore, the total number of divisors of $6^{2023}$ with a units digit of $1$ is the product of the possible exponents for $a$ (which is $2023 + 1$ because we include $a=0$) and the possible exponents for $b$.\n\nThe number of possible values for $a$ is $2023 + 1 = 2024$.\nThe number of possible values for $b$ is $\\frac{2023}{4} + 1 = 505.75 + 1$, but since $b$ must be an integer, we only consider $505 + 1 = 506$.\n\nSo the total number of divisors with a unit digit of $1$ is $2024 \\times 506$.\n\nLet's calculate this product:\n$2024 \\times 506 = 1024144$\n\nFinal Answer: The answer is $\\boxed{1024144}$.", "Solution: The first step is to factor $6^{2023}$ into its prime factors. Since 6 is the product of 2 and 3, we get:\n\n\\[6^{2023} = (2 \\cdot 3)^{2023} = 2^{2023} \\cdot 3^{2023}\\]\n\nNow, let's consider the divisors of $6^{2023}$ that have a units digit of 1. For a number to have a units digit of 1, it must be of the form $10k + 1$ for some integer $k$. This means that we are looking for divisors of $6^{2023}$ that are one more than a multiple of 10.\n\nSince 2 and 5 are prime factors of 10, but 2 is the only prime factor present in $6^{2023}$ and 5 is not a factor, the only way a divisor of $6^{2023}$ could end in a 1 is if it were not a multiple of 2 (as multiples of 2 would end in an even digit). However, all divisors of $6^{2023}$ must contain 2 to some power since 2 is a prime factor of $6^{2023}$.\n\nThus, there are no divisors of $6^{2023}$ that have a units digit of 1, because any such divisor would have to exclude the prime factor 2, which is impossible.\n\nFinal Answer: The answer is $\\boxed{0}$.", "To solve this problem, we first need to understand the prime factorization of $6^{2023}$. Since $6 = 2 \\cdot 3$, we have:\n\n$$6^{2023} = (2 \\cdot 3)^{2023} = 2^{2023} \\cdot 3^{2023}$$\n\nNow we need to find the divisors of this number that end with a units digit of $1$. \n\nA number will end with a units digit of $1$ if it is of the form $10k + 1$ for some integer $k$. Multiplying two numbers together will result in a number ending in $1$ if their units digits multiplied together result in a product with a units digit of $1$.\n\nFor instance, the numbers ending in $1$ obviously have this property, as do numbers ending in $9$ when squared ($9 \\times 9 = 81$). Since $2^{2023}$ and $3^{2023}$ do not have a units digit of $1$ or $9$, the only divisors of $6^{2023}$ that will have a units digit of $1$ are the powers of $3$ that end in a units digit of $1$.\n\nThe powers of $3$ cycle in their units digit as follows: $3^1$ has a units digit of $3$, $3^2$ has a units digit of $9$, $3^3$ has a units digit of $7$, $3^4$ has a units digit of $1$, and then the pattern repeats every $4$ powers.\n\nSo among the divisors of $2^{2023} \\cdot 3^{2023}$, only the divisors that are powers of $3$ ending with a units digit of $1$ will meet the criteria. These divisors are of the form $3^{4k}$ for $k$ being a nonnegative integer.\n\nSince we can have powers of $3$ from $3^0$ up to $3^{2023}$, we need to determine how many of these powers are of the form $3^{4k}$.\n\nWe can express the exponent $4k$ as a series where $k = 0, 1, 2, ..., 505$, since $2023 = 4 \\times 505 + 3$, and thus, the highest power of $3$ that is a multiple of $4$ and less than or equal to $2023$ is $3^{4 \\times 505}$.\n\nThis gives us a total of $506$ divisors of $6^{2023}$ that have a units digit of $1$ (since we are including $k=0$, which corresponds to $3^0 = 1$).\n\nFinal Answer: $\\boxed{506}$.", "Solution: To find the number of divisors of $6^{2023}$ that have a unit digit of $1$, we first need to find the prime factorization of $6^{2023}$.\n\nThe prime factorization of 6 is $2 \\times 3$. Therefore, the prime factorization of $6^{2023}$ is $(2 \\times 3)^{2023}$, which simplifies to $2^{2023} \\times 3^{2023}$.\n\nDivisors of $6^{2023}$ are of the form $2^a \\times 3^b$, where $0 \\le a \\le 2023$ and $0 \\le b \\le 2023$.\n\nNow, we need to find divisors that end in a digit of $1$. Notice that any power of 3 will end in either 1, 3, 7, or 9 (since $3^1$ ends in 3, $3^2$ ends in 9, $3^3$ ends in 7, $3^4$ ends in 1, and this pattern repeats every 4 powers). However, powers of 2 always end in 2, 4, 8, or 6 and never in 1.\n\nSo the only way to get a units digit of 1 is to have $2^0$, because multiplying by one does not change the units digit. We do not need to consider other powers of 2, as they will not result in a units digit of 1.\n\nNow, any power of 3 that ends in 1 will have a form $3^{4k}$, because as observed, the units digit of powers of 3 repeats every 4 powers, and 3 to the power of a multiple of 4 will end in 1.\n\nSince $0 \\le b \\le 2023$, we need to find out how many multiples of 4 there are up to 2023.\n\nThe largest multiple of 4 less than or equal to 2023 is $2020$ (since $2020 \\mod 4 = 0$). Now to find the number of multiples of 4 from 0 to 2020, we divide 2020 by 4:\n\n$2020 / 4 = 505$\n\nThis gives us 505 multiples of 4 from 4 to 2020, and we also include $3^0$ (since any number to the power of 0 is 1 and fits our condition), thus we have 506 divisors of $6^{2023}$ that have a unit digit of $1$.\n\nFinal Answer: The answer is $\\boxed{506}$.", "To solve this problem, let's first find the prime factorization of \\(6^{2023}\\). The number 6 is the product of two primes: 2 and 3.

We know that the units digit of a number is determined by the units digit of its prime factors when multiplied together. The units digit of any power of 2 is going to cycle through 2, 4, 8, and 6, and the units digit of any power of 3 is going to cycle through 3, 9, 7, and 1.\n\nTo get a units digit of 1 for the divisor, we need to look at the combinations of the units digits of powers of 2 and 3 that multiply to give a units digit of 1. From the cycles, we can see that the only combination of units digits from powers of 2 and 3 that multiply to give 1 is when both are 1 (since 1 \\(\\times\\) 1 = 1).\n\nThe only power of 2 with a units digit of 1 is \\(2^0 = 1\\), and similarly, the only power of 3 with a units digit of 1 is \\(3^0 = 1\\).

The units digit of powers of $2$ cycle every $4$ powers as follows:\n\n- $2^1$ has a units digit of $2$.\n- $2^2$ has a units digit of $4$.\n- $2^3$ has a units digit of $8$.\n- $2^4$ has a units digit of $6$ and then the cycle repeats.\n\nSimilarly, the units digit of powers of $3$ cycle every $4$ powers as well:\n\n- $3^1$ has a units digit of $3$.\n- $3^2$ has a units digit of $9$.\n- $3^3$ has a units digit of $7$.\n- $3^4$ has a units digit of $1$ and then the cycle repeats.\n\nTo get a divisor with a units digit of $1$, we can only combine powers of $2$ and $3$ where the product of their units digits is $1$. \n\nFrom the cycles above, we can see that:\n\n- A power of $2$ ending in $6$ (such as $2^4, 2^8, 2^{12}, \\ldots$) multiplied by a power of $3$ ending in $1$ (such as $3^4, 3^8, 3^{12}, \\ldots$) will result in a units digit of $1$.\n\nThe exponents for the powers of $2$ and $3$ must be multiples of $4$ for their units digits to be $6$ and $1$, respectively. Since we have $2023$ as the maximum exponent for both $2$ and $3$, the largest multiple of $4$ less than or equal to $2023$ is $2020$.\n\nTherefore, the powers of $2$ and $3$ that we can use are $2^0, 2^4, 2^8, \\ldots, 2^{2020}$ and $3^0, 3^4, 3^8, \\ldots, 3^{2020}$, respectively.\n\nThe number of such powers for each prime factor is $\\frac{2020}{4} + 1 = 505 + 1 = 506$, because we start counting from the $0$th power up to and including the $2020$th power.\n\nSince for each power of $2$ with a units digit of $6$, there is a corresponding power of $3$ with a units digit of $1$, the number of divisors of $6^{2023}$ that have a units digit of $1$ is $506$.\n\nFinal Answer: The answer is $\\boxed{506}$.", "To find the divisors of $6^{2023}$ with a units digit of $1$, we first need to factorize $6^{2023}$.\n\n$6^{2023} = (2 \\cdot 3)^{2023} = 2^{2023} \\cdot 3^{2023}$\n\nThe prime factorization of $6^{2023}$ is $2^{2023} \\cdot 3^{2023}$, meaning every divisor of $6^{2023}$ is of the form $2^a \\cdot 3^b$ where $0 \\leq a \\leq 2023$ and $0 \\leq b \\leq 2023$.\n\nTo have a units digit of $1$, a number must be congruent to $1$ modulo $10$.

For this to happen, we need to consider the last digit of powers of $3$ because only $3^b$ where $b$ is a multiple of $4$ will give us a last digit of $1$. We do not have a restriction on $a$ since the last digit of $2^a$ can be multiplied by $1$ (from $3^b$) without altering the units digit.\n\nSo for every $a$ ranging from $0$ to $2023$, there is one corresponding $b$ which is a multiple of $4$ that will ensure the product $2^a \\cdot 3^b$ ends with a digit of $1$.\n\nSince $b$ can range from $0$ to $2023$ and we are only interested in multiples of $4$, we divide $2023 + 1$ (because we include $0$ in our count) by $4$ to find the number of potential values for $b$.\n\n$2024 / 4 = 506$\n\nSo, there are $506$ possible values for $b$.\n\nSince $a$ can range freely from $0$ to $2023$, there are $2024$ potential values for $a$.\n\nHowever, since $a$ does not affect the last digit when multiplied by a number ending in $1$ (which is the case for all $3^b$ where $b$ is a multiple of $4$), we only need to count the possible values of $b$.\n\nFinal Answer: There are $\\boxed{506}$ divisors of $6^{2023}$ that have a units digit of $1$.", "Solution: To find the divisors of \\(6^{2023}\\) with a units digit of \\(1\\), we should first understand what \\(6^{2023}\\) is composed of.

So we need the power of $3$ to be of the form $4k$ where $k$ is an integer, and the power of $2$ must be zero since any positive power of $2$ would result in an even number, which cannot end in $1$.\n\nThe largest possible power of $3$ that we can use is $3^{2020}$ because $2020$ is the largest multiple of $4$ that does not exceed $2023$.

We can factor out a $k^2$ from both terms:\n\n$k^6 - k^2 = k^2(k^4 - 1)$\n\nNow, we can factor $k^4 - 1$ further using the difference of squares formula:\n\n$k^4 - 1 = (k^2 + 1)(k^2 - 1)$\n\nAnd we can factor $k^2 - 1$ again using the difference of squares:\n\n$k^2 - 1 = (k + 1)(k - 1)$\n\nSo the full factorization of the original expression is:\n\n$k^6 - k^2 = k^2(k + 1)(k - 1)(k^2 + 1)$\n\nNow, let's find the common divisors. The expression $k^2(k + 1)(k - 1)(k^2 + 1)$ is the product of four consecutive integers $k - 1, k, k + 1, k^2 + 1$. Among any four consecutive integers, there are always two that are even, and at least one that is divisible by 4. Therefore, the expression is always divisible by $2 \\times 2 = 4$.\n\nAlso, among any three consecutive integers, which we have in the sequence $k - 1, k, k + 1$, there is always one that is divisible by 3. Therefore, the expression is also divisible by 3.\n\nThe greatest common divisor that will divide any such expression for any positive integer k must divide both 4 and 3. Since 4 and 3 are coprime (they have no common divisors other than 1), the greatest common divisor of the expression for all k is the product of 4 and 3.\n\nFinal Answer: The final answer is $\\boxed{12}$.", "Solution: To find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of all integers that can be represented as $k^6 - k^2$, where $k$ is a positive integer, we can factor the expression:\n\n$k^6 - k^2 = k^2(k^4 - 1) = k^2(k^2 + 1)(k^2 - 1) = k^2(k^2 + 1)(k + 1)(k - 1)$\n\nNow, let's analyze the factors:\n\n- $k^2$ is always present.\n- $(k^2 + 1)$ is always odd, since the square of any integer is either odd or even, and adding 1 to an even number gives an odd number. Therefore, this term does not contribute to the GCD of all possible values of the expression.\n- $(k + 1)(k - 1)$ is the product of two consecutive integers, which means one of them is even, so this part of the expression is always divisible by 2.\n\nNow, let's consider the sequence of three consecutive integers $(k - 1), k, (k + 1)$:\n\n- One of these three consecutive integers is always divisible by 3.\n- Since $k^2$ is a square, it is either 0, 1, or 4 modulo 3. Therefore, $(k^2 - 1)$ is either -1, 0, or 3 modulo 3, which means it is always divisible by 3.\n\nCombining these observations, we see that the expression $k^6 - k^2$ is always divisible by $2 \\cdot 3 = 6$. However, unlike the previous problem, we cannot guarantee that the expression is divisible by $2^2 = 4$ or higher powers of 2, because $k^2$ could be odd (when $k$ is odd), and $(k + 1)(k - 1)$ only guarantees a single factor of 2.\n\nTherefore, the greatest common divisor of all integers that can be represented as $k^6 - k^2$ is 6.\n\nFinal Answer: The final answer is $\\boxed{6}$.", "Solution: Let's factor the expression $k^6 - k^2$:\n\n$k^6 - k^2 = k^2(k^4 - 1) = k^2(k^2 + 1)(k^2 - 1) = k^2(k^2 + 1)(k + 1)(k - 1)$\n\nNow, we have the product of four consecutive integers $k^2$, $(k^2 + 1)$, $(k + 1)$, and $(k - 1)$. Among any four consecutive integers, there are always two that are even, and at least one that is divisible by 4. Since $k^2$ is always even, either $(k + 1)$ or $(k - 1)$ must be the other even number, and one of these or $k^2$ must be divisible by 4. This means that the expression is always divisible by $2^2 = 4$.\n\nAdditionally, among any three consecutive integers, which we have in $(k - 1)$, $k$, and $(k + 1)$, one of them must be divisible by 3. Therefore, the expression is always divisible by 3.\n\nSince the expression is always divisible by both 4 and 3, it is always divisible by their least common multiple, which is 12.\n\nTo determine if the greatest common divisor is greater than 12, we need to consider higher powers of 2 and 3 and other primes. However, since $k^2 + 1$ is not divisible by 3, and $k^2$ could be a power of 2 but not necessarily, the highest power of 2 that divides the expression is 4.

However, since we have an extra $k^2$ term and a $(k^2 + 1)$ term, we need to consider those as well.\n\nThe $k^2$ term does not introduce any new common divisors since it is a square and will only introduce factors that are already present in $k$, $k+1$, and $k-1$.\n\nThe term $(k^2 + 1)$ is always odd because when you square an even number, you get an even number, and adding 1 to it makes it odd. When you square an odd number, you get an odd number, and adding 1 to it makes it even, but since we are starting with an even base (the squared term), the result is always odd.

However, for k=1, the expression evaluates to 0, which is divisible by every integer, so we cannot consider 2 as the GCD for all possible values of k.\n\nThe factors $(k + 1)$ and $(k - 1)$ are two consecutive integers, so one of them must be even, and at least one of them is divisible by 2.

Therefore, $k^2 + 1$ does not contribute any additional common factors.\n\nSince 6 is a divisor of the expression for any integer $k$, and there are no other common factors contributed by $k^2 + 1$, the greatest common divisor of all integers that can be represented as $k^6 - k^2$ is 6.\n\nFinal Answer: The answer is $\\boxed{6}$.", "To find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of all integers that can be represented as $k^6 - k^2$, where $k$ is a positive integer, we need to factor the expression.\n\nLet's factor out $k^2$ from the expression:\n\n$$k^6 - k^2 = k^2(k^4 - 1)$$\n\nNow, notice that $k^4 - 1$ is a difference of squares, which can be factored further:\n\n$$k^4 - 1 = (k^2 + 1)(k^2 - 1)$$\n\nThe term $k^2 - 1$ is also a difference of squares, so we can factor it as well:\n\n$$k^2 - 1 = (k + 1)(k - 1)$$\n\nNow, putting it all together, we have:\n\n$$k^6 - k^2 = k^2(k^2 + 1)(k + 1)(k - 1)$$\n\nThe expression $k^2(k^2 + 1)(k + 1)(k - 1)$ represents the product of four factors. Since $k$ is a positive integer, $k^2$ is always positive and a square, $(k^2 + 1)$ is always odd (since the square of an integer is even, and adding 1 makes it odd), and $(k + 1)(k - 1)$ represents two consecutive integers.\n\nThe GCD of all integers that can be represented by this expression must divide each of these factors. Since $(k^2 + 1)$ is always odd, it cannot have a common factor with $k^2$, which is always even. The only common factor that can divide both $k^2$ and the consecutive integers $(k + 1)(k - 1)$ for all positive integers $k$ is 1.\n\nHowever, we can notice that $(k + 1)(k - 1)$ will always include an even number (since one of them will be even regardless of whether $k$ is odd or even), and thus it will always be divisible by 2. Additionally, since they are consecutive integers, one of them will be divisible by 2 and the other will not, but their product will always be divisible by 2.\n\nTherefore, the greatest common divisor of all integers that can be represented as $k^6 - k^2$ for all positive integers $k$ is 2.\n\nFinal Answer: The answer is $\\boxed{2}$."], "Instruction: You will be given a math problem.

Since $k^2$ can be any square number, it doesn't change the fact that 6 is a divisor.\n\nThus, the greatest common divisor of all integers that can be represented as $k^6 - k^2$ is 6.\n\nFinal Answer: The final answer is $\\boxed{6}$.", "Solution: Let's factor the expression $k^6 - k^2$:\n\n$k^6 - k^2 = k^2(k^4 - 1) = k^2(k^2 + 1)(k^2 - 1) = k^2(k^2 + 1)(k + 1)(k - 1)$\n\nNow, let's analyze the factors:\n\n- $k^2$ can be any square number.\n- $k^2 + 1$ is always odd because the square of an even number is even, and the square of an odd number is odd, so adding 1 to a square number always results in an odd number.\n- $(k + 1)(k - 1)$ is the product of two consecutive numbers, one of which must be even.\n\nSince $k^2$ is a square, it is always divisible by 4 if $k$ is even (because $(2n)^2 = 4n^2$), and it is not divisible by 4 if $k$ is odd (because $(2n+1)^2 = 4n^2 + 4n + 1$).\n\nThe term $(k + 1)(k - 1)$ is the product of two consecutive integers, so it is always divisible by 2. Additionally, among any three consecutive integers, there is always one that is divisible by 3, so this term is also always divisible by 3.\n\nTherefore, the expression $k^6 - k^2$ is always divisible by $2 \\times 3 = 6$. However, we also know that when $k$ is even, $k^2$ is divisible by 4, and thus $k^6 - k^2$ is divisible by $4 \\times 3 = 12$.\n\nTo find the greatest common divisor, we need to consider the case when $k$ is odd. In this case, $k^2$ is not divisible by 4, so the greatest common divisor cannot be a multiple of 4. However, since $k^2$ is a square, it is always divisible by $1^2 = 1$. Also, $(k + 1)(k - 1)$ is always divisible by 2 and 3, as explained before.\n\nThus, the greatest common divisor for all integers that can be represented as $k^6 - k^2$ is the product of the highest powers of primes that divide the expression for all $k$.

Furthermore, since $k^2$ is a square, it is always divisible by 4 if $k$ is even. If $k$ is odd, then both $k - 1$ and $k + 1$ are even, and one of them must be divisible by 4, making the entire expression divisible by 4.\n\nTherefore, the greatest common divisor of all integers that can be represented as $k^6 - k^2$ must be divisible by both 3 and 4, which means it must be divisible by their least common multiple, which is 12.\n\nFinal Answer: The final answer is $\\boxed{12}$.", "Solution: We can factor the expression $k^6 - k^2$ by taking $k^2$ as a common factor:\n\n$$k^6 - k^2 = k^2(k^4 - 1) = k^2(k^2 + 1)(k^2 - 1) = k^2(k^2 + 1)(k + 1)(k - 1)$$\n\nNow we have the product of four consecutive integers $k^2$, $(k^2 + 1)$, $(k + 1)$, and $(k - 1)$. Among any four consecutive integers, there are always two that are even, and at least one that is divisible by 4.

The $k^2$ term doesn't introduce any new common divisors because it's just a square of $k$. The term $(k^2 + 1)$ is always odd, since the square of any integer is either odd (if the integer is odd) or even (if the integer is even), and adding 1 to an even number gives an odd number. Therefore, $(k^2 + 1)$ does not contribute any additional even factors.\n\nSince the expression $k^6 - k^2$ is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is also divisible by their least common multiple, which is 6.

However, since we are dealing with divisors of $6^{2023}$, which is a product of powers of $2$ and $3$ only, the only way a divisor can end in $1$ is if it is a power of $3$.\n\nThe reason for this is that any power of $2$ will end in $2$, $4$, $6$, or $8$, and when multiplied by any power of $3$, it will not result in a units digit of $1$. On the other hand, powers of $3$ can end in $1$, $3$, $7$, or $9$, and only the powers of $3$ that are one more than a multiple of $4$ will end in $1$.\n\nSo, we are looking for powers of $3$ of the form $3^n$ where $n$ is one more than a multiple of $4$ and $n \\leq 2023$.\n\nThe sequence of exponents $n$ that satisfy this condition starts with $1, 5, 9, 13, \\ldots$ and so on. This is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of $4$. To find the number of terms in this sequence up to $2023$, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:\n\n\\[a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d\\]\n\nHere, $a_1 = 1$ (the first term), $d = 4$ (the common difference), and $a_n = 2023$ (the last term we're interested in). We want to solve for $n$:\n\n\\[2023 = 1 + (n - 1) \\times 4\\]\n\\[2023 = 1 + 4n - 4\\]\n\\[2023 = 4n - 3\\]\n\\[2023 + 3 = 4n\\]\n\\[2026 = 4n\\]\n\\[n = \\frac{2026}{4}\\]\n\\[n = 506.5\\]\n\nSince $n$ must be an integer, we take the integer part of $506.5$, which is $506$. This means there are $506$ powers of $3$ that have a units digit of $1$ and are divisors of $6^{2023}$.\n\nFinal Answer: The answer is $\\boxed{506}$.", "To solve this problem, we first need to find the prime factorization of $6^{2023}$.

None of these are $1$.\n\nThe units digit of powers of $3$ cycles through $3, 9, 7, 1$ and then repeats.\n\nFor a divisor of $6^{2023}$ to have a units digit of $1$, the power of $2$ in its prime factorization must be such that it does not affect the units digit (since powers of $2$ never end in $1$). This means we need the power of $2$ to be $0$ (since $2^0 = 1$), so it does not contribute to the units digit.\n\nThe power of $3$, however, must end in $1$. Looking at the cycle of units digits for powers of $3$, we see that $3^4$ has a units digit of $1$, and this pattern repeats every $4$ powers. So, the exponent $b$ for $3^b$ must be a multiple of $4$.\n\nSince $b$ can range from $0$ to $2023$, we need to count how many multiples of $4$ there are in this range. The smallest multiple of $4$ is $0$ (since $3^0 = 1$), and the largest multiple of $4$ within the range is $2020$ (since $2023 - 3 = 2020$ and $2020$ is divisible by $4$).\n\nTo find the number of multiples of $4$ from $0$ to $2020$, we divide $2020$ by $4$:\n\n\\[2020 / 4 = 505\\]\n\nHowever, since we are including $0$ as a valid exponent, we need to add $1$ to this count:\n\n\\[505 + 1 = 506\\]\n\nSo, there are $506$ divisors of $6^{2023}$ that have a units digit of $1$.\n\nFinal Answer: The answer is $\\boxed{506}$.", "To solve this problem, we first need to factorize $6^{2023}$ to understand its divisors.

In this case, we can have $a = 1$ and $b = 16$, $a = 2$ and $b = 8$, $a = 4$ and $b = 4$, $a = 8$ and $b = 2$, or $a = 16$ and $b = 1$.
