There is an important formula to find the factors of a number 'N'
if \(N=(a^x)*(b^y)*(c^z)\)... (where a,b,c,d.. are prime factors of N)
so, number of all factors of a \(N = (x+1)*(y+1)*(z+1)\)....
Back to the question
N = (Product of all odd prime numbers less than 16) = \((3^1)*(5^1)*(7^1)*(11^1)*(13^1)\)
number of all factors = \((1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)=2*2*2*2*2=32\)
if \(N=(a^x)*(b^y)*(c^z)\)... (where a,b,c,d.. are prime factors of N)
so, number of all factors of a \(N = (x+1)*(y+1)*(z+1)\)....
Back to the question
N = (Product of all odd prime numbers less than 16) = \((3^1)*(5^1)*(7^1)*(11^1)*(13^1)\)
number of all factors = \((1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)=2*2*2*2*2=32\)

Recall that to determine the number of positive factors that a number n has, we first prime factorize n and then add 1 to each prime’s exponent. We then calculate the product of those “adjusted” exponents.
First, we prime factorize n:
n = 3^1 x 5^1 x 7^1 x 11^1 x 13^1
We add 1 to each exponent and then find the product of the adjusted exponents. Therefore, n has (1 + 1) x (1 + 1) x (1 + 1) x (1 + 1) x (1 + 1) = 2^5 = 32 factors.
Answer: D
