Re: Factors
In general...
If a number N has prime factorization as follows...
N=ap×bq×cr...
Then the number of distinct factors, including 1 and N is given by...
Number of Factors = (p+1)(q+1)(r+1)...
Here, 1176 = 23×31×72
∴ Number of factors = (3+1)(1+1)(2+1) = 24
If two or more thoughts intersect with each other, then there has to be a point.
