What is the total number of divisors of 1728?

Find the number of divisors of 1728


Method:
Find  the prime factorization of the number n.
Take all the exponents in the factorization.
Add 1 to each
Then multiply these "exponents + 1"s together.

Solution:

Prime Factorization of 1728:

2 | 1728 
2 | 864

2 | 432

2 | 216  

2 | 108

2 | 54

3 | 27

3 | 9

3 | 3

   | 1

2^6, 3^3
Exponents: 6 & 3

Add 1 to each exponent (6+1) (3+1)
Multiple “exponents+1” together = (6+1) x (3+1) =7 x 4 = 28

Total number of divisors of 1728 = 28

Numbers: Find the number of divisors of 600

Method:
Find  the prime factorization of the number n.
Take all the exponents in the factorization.
Add 1 to each
Then multiply these "exponents + 1"s together.

Example:
Find the number of divisors of 600

Solution:
Prime Factorization of 600:

2 | 600 
2 | 300
2 | 150 
3 | 75
5 | 25
5 | 5
   | 1 
 
2^3, 3^1 & 5^2

Exponents: 3, 1 & 2
Add 1 to each exponent = (3+1) (1+1) (2+1)
Multiple “exponents+1” together = (3+1) x (1+1) x (2+1) = 4 x 2 x 3 = 24

Total number of divisors of 600 = 24
