The number of divisors of a number (d(n)) can be found from its prime factorization as the product of the by-one incremented exponents of all present prime bases.

[math]\displaystyle{ n = p_1^{e_1}\cdot p_2^{e_2}\dotsm p_r^{e_r}, }[/math]
then:[1]
[math]\displaystyle{ d(n) = (e_1+1)(e_2+1) \dotsm (e_r+1) }[/math]
  • for coprime numbers [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math] applies:
[math]\displaystyle{ d(mn) = d(m)\cdot d(n) }[/math]

Some Examples

Number Prime factorization Number of divisors
8 [math]\displaystyle{ 8 = 2^3 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ d(8) = (3+1) = 4 }[/math]
12 [math]\displaystyle{ 12 = 2^2 \cdot 3 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ d(12) = (2+1)(1+1) = 6 }[/math]
30 [math]\displaystyle{ 30 = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ d(30) = (1+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 8 }[/math]
