Example of Use of Divisor Count Function

$\map {\sigma_0} {1376} = 12$

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:

$1376 = 2^5 \times 43$

Thus:

\(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {1376}\) \(=\) \(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {2^5 \times 43^1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \paren {5 + 1} \paren {1 + 1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 12\)


The divisors of $1376$ can be enumerated as:

$1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688, 1376$
