Asked by MW
To find the number of factors of a number, you get the prime factors and add one to each exponent, then multiply all the exponents.
I know how to get that, but I am wondering why you add one. Mathmatical explanation? Can anyone help?

To find the number of factors of a number, you get the prime factors and just count them.
