It is possible to predict the number of factors of a given number just from knowing the prime factorization. If you list the p.f. with exponents, add one to each exponent and multiply them, you will have the total number of factors. Sounds complicated. Let's look at some examples.
2 x 3 = 6
(2^1 x 3^1 = 6)
Any number without an exponent actually has the implied exponent 1. Adding one to each and multiplying gives us 2 x 2 = 4
Six has four factors. That's two factor pairs.
2^3 x 3^2 = 72
4 x 3 = 12
72 has 12 factors. 6 factor pairs.
Square numbers are tricky.
3^2 x 3^2 = 81
3 x 3 = 9
81 has 9 factors but 5 factor pairs, since one of the factors (the square root) will be listed twice in a factor pair.
Any time you have an even number of factors, cut it in half for the factor pairs. Any time you have an odd number of factors, add one and cut it in half.
Factors come in pairs. If you know one factor, divide it into the number. The answer will be another factor.
Multiply them together.

Start looking for factors; you already know that 1 is a factor, and that the number itself is a second factor (unless the number is 1). As soon as you find a factor that is neither 1 nor the number itself, the number is composite. If you find exactly two factors, the number is prime. If the number has only one factor, the number is 1, which is neither prime nor composite.
Factors come in pairs. If you know one factor, divide it into the number. The answer will be another factor.
This will be difficult to answer accurately if we don't know the given number, so we'll make one up. 36. Two pairs of numbers with an LCM of 36 are 4,9 and 12,18.
Multiply them together.
You are thinking of 225.
There are two ways in which the factors can be given. You are given all the prime factors (and their multiplicity). In that case simply multiply them all together. Or You are given each factor. In this case, the biggest of these is the number.
To answer that accurately, we will need to know the pairs of units.

If you know the prime factorization of a number, you can find out the total number of factors. Example: 210 2^1 x 3^1 x 5^1 x 7^1 = 210 Add one to the exponents and multiply them. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16, the total number of factors.
PLS I DONT KNIW ONLY KNOW NOTHING /saysidontknowwhattodo***
Apart from [1,201], [3,67] is the only other factor pair. Since both 3 and 67 are prime numbers, you know you won't be able to find any more factor pairs.
All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this. Example: 210 210 Divide by two. 105,2 Divide by three. 35,3,2 Divide by five. 7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime. 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210 That's the prime factorization of 210.
Factors are divisors. If you know the divisibility rules, you know that 80 is divisible by 1, 2, 4, 5 and 8. If you divide 80 by those numbers, you find the other half of the factor pairs.
