Example of Use of Divisor Count Function

$\map {\sigma_0} {630} = 24$

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:

$630 = 2 \times 3^2 \times 5 \times 7$

Thus:

\(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {630}\) \(=\) \(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {2^1 \times 3^2 \times 5^1 \times 7^1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \paren {1 + 1} \paren {2 + 1} \paren {1 + 1} \paren {1 + 1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 24\)


The divisors of $630$ can be enumerated as:

$1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 15, 18, 21, 30, 35, 42, 45, 63, 70, 90, 105, 126, 210, 315, 630$
