Example of Use of Divisor Count Function

$\map {\sigma_0} {1184} = 12$

where ${\sigma_0$ denotes the divisor count function.


Proof

From Divisor Count Function from Prime Decomposition:

$\ds \map {\sigma_0} n = \prod_{j \mathop = 1}^r \paren {k_j + 1}$

where:

$r$ denotes the number of distinct prime factors in the prime decomposition of $n$
$k_j$ denotes the multiplicity of the $j$th prime in the prime decomposition of $n$.


We have that:

$1184 = 2^5 \times 37$

Thus:

\(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {1184}\) \(=\) \(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {2^5 \times 37^1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \paren {5 + 1} \paren {2 + 1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 12\)


The divisors of $1184$ can be enumerated as:

$1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 37, 74, 148, 296, 592, 1184$
