problem

The sets A={z:z18=1}A = \{z : z^{18} = 1\} and B={w:w48=1}B = \{w : w^{48} = 1\} are both sets of complex roots of unity. The set $C = \{zw : z \in A ~ \mbox{and} ~ w \in B\}$ is also a set of complex roots of unity. How many distinct elements are in CC^{}_{}?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
The sets A={z:z¹⁸=1} and B={w:w⁴⁸=1} are both sets of complex roots of unity. The set $C = \{zw : z \in A ~ \mbox{and} ~ w \in B\}$ is also a set of complex roots of unity. How many distinct elements are in C_()^()?
