A function of a natural argument, , equal to the number of natural divisors of the number . This arithmetic function is denoted by or . The following formula holds: where is the canonical expansion of into prime factors. For prime numbers , , but there exists an infinite sequence of for which On the other hand, for all , is a multiplicative arithmetic function and is equal to the number of points with natural coordinates on the hyperbola . The average value of is given by Dirichlet's asymptotic formula (cf. Divisor problems). The function , which is the number of solutions of the equation in natural numbers , is a generalization of the function .
