Consider the following system of equations for positive integers $x$ and $y$:
\begin{align*}
\log_{10}x + 2\log_{10}(\gcd(x,y)) & = 12, \\
\log_{10}y + 2\log_{10}(\text{lcm}(x,y)) & = 18.
\end{align*}
Let $p$ represent the number of (not necessarily distinct) prime factors in the prime factorization of $x$, and let $q$ represent the prime factors in the prime factorization of $y$. Find the value of $p+q$.
