Example of Use of Divisor Count Function

$\map {\sigma_0} {7560} = 64$

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:

$7560 = 2^3 \times 3^3 \times 5 \times 7$

Thus:

\(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {7560}\) \(=\) \(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {2^3 \times 3^3 \times 5^1 \times 7^1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \paren {3 + 1} \paren {3 + 1} \paren {1 + 1} \paren {1 + 1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 64\)
