... But note that based upon the prime factorizations of m and n we have: τ (m) = (t1 + 1)(t2 + 1) · · · (tk + 1) τ (n) = (r1 + 1)(r2 + 1) · · · (rl + 1) Thus we’ve shown that τ (m · n) = τ (m) · τ (n). 2. Exercise 7: Fix a positive integer k. Show that the equation τ (n) = k has infinitely many soluti ...
