Example of Use of Divisor Count Function
- $\map {\sigma_0} {550} = 12$
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:
- $550 = 2 \times 5^2 \times 11$
Thus:
\(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {550}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map {\sigma_0} {2^1 \times 5^2 \times 11^1}\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \paren {1 + 1} \paren {2 + 1} \paren {1 + 1}\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 12\) |
The divisors of $550$ can be enumerated as:
- $1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 25, 50, 55, 110, 275, 550$
