List the prime factorization of the number by exponents. Remember that if a number does not have an exponent, the exponent "1" is implied. Add one to each exponent and multiply. That is the total number of factors.
2^3 x 3^2 = 72
4 x 3 = 12
72 has twelve factors.
If there is only one prime factor, add one and there you are.
2^4 = 16
16 has five factors.
To calculate factors using this tool, you will enter positive integers, because the calculator will only allow positive values, to calculate factors of a number. if you need to calculate negative numbers, you enter the positive value, get the factors and duplicate the answer yourself with all the give positive factors as negatives like as -5 and -6 as factors of number 30.
I wrote out all the factors of all the numbers from 1 to 100 and counted them.
I would pick any prime number and calculate it to the 14th power.
An easy way to calculate all the factors of whole numbers is to iterate from 1 to that number and check if the remainder is zero using the "%" operation. def getFactors(num): """Return the factors of a whole number""" factors = [] for i in range(1,num+1): if num%i == 0: factors.append(i) return factors Factoring negative numbers and zero simply requires a few more tweaks to the code.
Theoretically, infinity has an infinite number of factors. Since the number scale does not end you can't answer a question such as "What is the biggest number?" and therefore the number with the biggest number of factors is impossible to calculate unless you use a theoretical such as infinity. More interestingly there is a debate about the largest prime number (a number with only two factors, 1 and itself) which may or may not be a finite number. Also, 0 has infinite factors because it is divisible by every number.
If you don't specify a number, it becomes an infinite list, impossible to calculate.
Prime numbers have only two factors, one and themselves. The number 5 is prime.
You go through each number, starting with 2, 3, 4, ... and check if the number has any smaller factors. If it has no smaller factors, you conclude it is a prime number. Continue until you have 10 prime numbers.

If there was, we would have known. The only way I could think of is using a graphing calculator and use y=(the number you want factored)/x and go to table and there should be the x and y values, which are the factors.
How to calculate the number of units sold?
Prime factors are 2, 5 & 73. You should now be able to calculate the composite factors.
