Integral Divisors

1,000 questions

This section covers formulas for analyzing the divisors of an integer. First, prime factorize the number nn as n=p1e1p2e2pkekn = p_1^{e_1} \cdot p_2^{e_2} \cdots p_k^{e_k}.

  • Number of Prime Divisors: The number of distinct prime factors (kk).
  • Number of Integral Divisors: (e1+1)(e2+1)(ek+1)(e_1+1)(e_2+1)\cdots(e_k+1).
  • Sum of Integral Divisors: (p1e1+11p11)(pkek+11pk1)(\frac{p_1^{e_1+1}-1}{p_1-1}) \cdots (\frac{p_k^{e_k+1}-1}{p_k-1}).
  • Proper Divisors: All divisors except the number itself.
  • Relatively Prime Integers less than n (Euler's Totient Function): The number of integers less than nn that are coprime to nn is n(11p1)(11pk)n(1-\frac{1}{p_1})\cdots(1-\frac{1}{p_k}).
