. For example, the factorization of 120 is 23 x 3 x 5, meaning 2 is a factor three times and 3 and 5 are each a factor one time for a total of five prime factors.
32
The number that has exactly 15 factors is 28. To determine the number of factors a number has, you can prime factorize the number and then add 1 to each exponent in the prime factorization and multiply these numbers together. In the case of 28, the prime factorization is 2^2 * 7^1, so the number of factors is (2+1) * (1+1) = 3 * 2 = 6. To have exactly 15 factors, the number needs to be a square of a prime number, so 28 = 2^2 * 7^1 fits this criteria.
The prime factorization of a number is writing it as a product of its prime factors.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite numbers, one is neither. When finding the factors of a number, you find all the factors. The prime factorization is a multiplication string of just prime factors that will total the given number.
exponent
Write the prime factorization with exponents. Add 1 to each exponent. (Numbers without exponents actually have the exponent 1.) Multiply them together. That will be the number of factors.
Yes.
a prime factorization
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.
If you know the prime factorization of a number, you can tell how many factors it has. Write the prime factorization with exponents. Add 1 to each exponent. (Numbers without exponents actually have the exponent 1.) Multiply them together. That will be the number of factors. 10 = 2 x 5 = 21 x 51 2 x 2 = 4 10 has four factors.

A prime factorization
You can find out the number of factors of any number from its prime factorization by adding one to each exponent and multiplying. The prime factorization of 156 is 2^2 x 3^1 x 13^1 3 x 2 x 2 = 12 156 has 12 factors.
Write the prime factorization with exponents. Add 1 to each exponent. (Numbers without exponents actually have the exponent 1.) Multiply them together. That will be the number of factors. 10 = 2 x 5 = 21 x 51 2 x 2 = 4 10 has four factors. 72 = 23 x 32 4 x 3 = 12 72 has twelve factors. Square numbers can be tricky. The prime factorization of 9 should be written as 32, not 3 x 3. Adding 1 to the 2 gives you 3. 9 has three factors.
