The '''number of divisors''' {{w|Divisor function|d(''n'')}} of a number ''n'' can be found from its [[prime factorization]] as the product of the by-one incremented exponents of all present prime bases.

== Some Examples ==
If the number ''n'' has the prime factorization
 
<math>\displaystyle n = p_1^{e_1}\cdot p_2^{e_2}\dotsm p_r^{e_r},</math>
 
then:<ref>G. H. Hardy, E. M. Wright: ''An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers.'' 4. Edition, Oxford University Press, Oxford 1975. ISBN 0-19-853310-1, Theoreme&nbsp;273, p.&nbsp;239.</ref>
 
<math>\displaystyle d(n) = (e_1 + 1)(e_2 + 1) \dotsm (e_r + 1)</math>
 
For {{w|Coprime integers|coprime}} numbers ''m'' and ''n'' it follows that
 
<math>\displaystyle d(mn) = d(m) \cdot d(n)</math>
