Example 1: How many factors are there for 1998?
Solution:
The factors of 1998 are too many, therefore if we can find the prime factorization of 1998, then the total number of factors can be calculated using the formula shown below.
If the prime factorization of the number is ax × by × cz where a, b, c are prime, then the total number of factors can be given by (x + 1)(y + 1)(z + 1).
Prime Factorization of 1998 = 21 × 33 × 371
Therefore, the total number of factors are (1 + 1) × (3 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 2 × 4 × 2 = 16 -
