How many distinct positive factors does 30,030 have?

Finding the Number of Factors of an Integer

First make prime factorization of an integer \(n=a^p*b^q*c^r\), where \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are prime factors of \(n\) and \(p\), \(q\), and \(r\) are their powers.

The number of factors of \(n\) will be expressed by the formula \((p+1)(q+1)(r+1)\). NOTE: this will include 1 and n itself.

Example: Finding the number of all factors of 450: \(450=2^1*3^2*5^2\)

Total number of factors of 450 including 1 and 450 itself is \((1+1)*(2+1)*(2+1)=2*3*3=18\) factors.

BACK OT THE ORIGINAL QUESTION:

Factorize 30,030=2*3*5*7*11*13, thus the number of factors of 30,030 is (1+1)(1+1)(1+1)(1+1)(1+1)(1+1)=2^6=64.
