Example of Use of Divisor Count Function
- $\map {\sigma_0} {9240} = 64$
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:
- $9240 = 2^3 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7 \times 11$
Thus:
\(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {9240}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {2^3 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 \times 7^1 \times 11^1}\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \paren {3 + 1} \paren {1 + 1} \paren {1 + 1} \paren {1 + 1} \paren {1 + 1}\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 64\) |
