If the canonical factorization of n into prime powers is Product p^e(p) then d(n) = Product (e(p) + 1). More generally, for k > 0, sigma_k(n) = Product_p ((p^((e(p)+1)*k))-1)/(p^k-1) is the sum of the k-th powers of the divisors of n.
Number of ways to write n as n = x*y, 1 <= x <= n, 1 <= y <= n. For number of unordered solutions to x*y=n, see A038548.
Note that d(n) is not the number of Pythagorean triangles with radius of the inscribed circle equal to n (that is A078644). For number of primitive Pythagorean triangles having inradius n, see A068068(n).
Number of factors in the factorization of the polynomial x^n-1 over the integers. - T. D. Noe, Apr 16 2003
Also equal to the number of partitions p of n such that all the parts have the same cardinality, i.e., max(p)=min(p). - Giovanni Resta, Feb 06 2006
Equals A127093 as an infinite lower triangular matrix * the harmonic series, [1/1, 1/2, 1/3, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, May 10 2007
For odd n, this is the number of partitions of n into consecutive integers. Proof: For n = 1, clearly true. For n = 2k + 1, k >= 1, map each (necessarily odd) divisor to such a partition as follows: For 1 and n, map k + (k+1) and n, respectively. For any remaining divisor d <= sqrt(n), map (n/d - (d-1)/2) + ... + (n/d - 1) + (n/d) + (n/d + 1) + ... + (n/d + (d-1)/2) {i.e., n/d plus (d-1)/2 pairs each summing to 2n/d}. For any remaining divisor d > sqrt(n), map ((d-1)/2 - (n/d - 1)) + ... + ((d-1)/2 - 1) + (d-1)/2 + (d+1)/2 + ((d+1)/2 + 1) + ... + ((d+1)/2 + (n/d - 1)) {i.e., n/d pairs each summing to d}. As all such partitions must be of one of the above forms, the 1-to-1 correspondence and proof is complete. - Rick L. Shepherd, Apr 20 2008
Number of subgroups of the cyclic group of order n. - Benoit Jubin, Apr 29 2008
Equals row sums of triangle A143319. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 07 2008
Equals row sums of triangle A159934, equivalent to generating a(n) by convolving A000005 prefaced with a 1; (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, ...) with the INVERTi transform of A000005, (A159933): (1, 1,-1, 0, -1, 2, ...). Example: a(6) = 4 = (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2) dot (2, -1, 0, -1, 1, 1) = (2, -1, 0, -2, 3, 2) = 4. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 26 2009
Number of times n appears in an n X n multiplication table. - Dominick Cancilla, Aug 02 2010
Number of k >= 0 such that (k^2 + k*n + k)/(k + 1) is an integer. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Oct 25 2015
The only numbers k such that tau(k) >= k/2 are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12. - Michael De Vlieger, Dec 14 2016
a(n) is also the number of partitions of 2*n into equal parts, minus the number of partitions of 2*n into consecutive parts. - Omar E. Pol, May 03 2017
From Tomohiro Yamada, Oct 27 2020: (Start)
Let k(n) = log d(n)*log log n/(log 2 * log n), then lim sup k(n) = 1 (Hardy and Wright, Chapter 18, Theorem 317) and k(n) <= k(6983776800) = 1.537939... (the constant A280235) for every n (Nicolas and Robin, 1983).
There exist infinitely many n such that d(n) = d(n+1) (Heath-Brown, 1984). The number of such integers n <= x is at least c*x/(log log x)^3 (Hildebrand, 1987) but at most O(x/sqrt(log log x)) (Erdős, Carl Pomerance and Sárközy, 1987). (End)
Number of 2D grids of n congruent rectangles with two different side lengths, in a rectangle, modulo rotation (cf. A038548 for squares instead of rectangles). Also number of ways to arrange n identical objects in a rectangle (NOT modulo rotation, cf. A038548 for modulo rotation); cf. A007425 and A140773 for the 3D case. - Manfred Boergens, Jun 08 2021
The constant quoted above from Nicolas and Robin, 6983776800 = 2^5 * 3^3 * 5^2 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 17 * 19, appears arbitrary, but interestingly equals 2 * A095849(36). That second factor is highly composite and deeply composite. - Hal M. Switkay, Aug 08 2025

Number of ways to arrange n identical objects in a rectangle, modulo rotation.
Number of unordered solutions of x*y = n. - Colin Mallows, Jan 26 2002
Number of ways to write n-1 as n-1 = x*y + x + y, 0 <= x <= y <= n. - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 23 2002
Also number of values for x where x+2n and x-2n are both squares (e.g., if n=9, then 18+18 and 18-18 are both squares, as are 82+18 and 82-18 so a(9)=2); this is because a(n) is the number of solutions to n=k(k+r) in which case if x=r^2+2n then x+2n=(r+2k)^2 and x-2n=r^2 (cf. A061408). - Henry Bottomley, May 03 2001
Also number of sums of sequences of consecutive odd numbers or consecutive even numbers including sequences of length 1 (e.g., 12 = 5+7 or 2+4+6 or 12 so a(12)=3). - Naohiro Nomoto, Feb 26 2002
Number of partitions whose consecutive parts differ by exactly two.
a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). So a(24) = a(375) since 24=2^3*3 and 375=3*5^3 both have prime signature (3,1). - Christian G. Bower, Jun 06 2005
Also number of partitions of n such that if k is the largest part, then each of the parts 1,2,...,k-1 occurs exactly twice. Example: a(12)=3 because we have [3,3,2,2,1,1],[2,2,2,2,2,1,1] and [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 07 2006
a(n) is also the number of nonnegative integer solutions of the Diophantine equation 4*x^2 - y^2 = 16*n. For example, a(24)=4 because there are 4 solutions: (x,y) = (10,4), (11,10), (14,20), (25,46). - N-E. Fahssi, Feb 27 2008
a(n) is the number of even divisors of 2*n that are <= sqrt(2*n). - Joerg Arndt, Mar 04 2010
First differences of A094820. - John W. Layman, Feb 21 2012
a(n) = #{k: A027750(n,k) <= A000196(n)}; a(A008578(n)) = 1; a(A002808(n)) > 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 26 2012
Row lengths of the tables in A161906 and A161908. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 08 2013
Number of positive integers in the sequence defined by x_0 = n, x_(k+1) = (k+1)*(x_k-2)/(k+2) or equivalently by x_k = n/(k+1) - k. - Luc Rousseau, Mar 03 2018
Expanding the first comment: Number of rectangles with area n and integer side lengths, modulo rotation. Also number of 2D grids of n congruent squares, in a rectangle, modulo rotation (cf. A000005 for rectangles instead of squares; cf. A034836 for the 3D case). - Manfred Boergens, Jun 08 2021
Number of divisors of n that have an even number of prime divisors (counted with multiplicity), or in other words, number of terms of A028260 that divide n. - Antti Karttunen, Apr 17 2022

			a(4) = 2 since 4 = 2 * 2 = 4 * 1. Also A034178(4*4) = 2 since 16 = 4^2 - 0^2 = 5^2 - 3^2. - _Michael Somos_, May 11 2011

Let n = Product p_i^e_i. Tau (A000005) is tau_2, this sequence is tau_3, A007426 is tau_4, where tau_k(n) (also written as d_k(n)) = Product_i binomial(k-1+e_i, k-1) is the k-th Piltz function. It gives the number of ordered factorizations of n as a product of k terms. - Len Smiley

Also, since 6 is a squarefree number, the formula from Herrero can be used to obtain the result: a(6) = 3^omega(6) = 3^2 = 9. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, May 30 2014

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A000005(k)*floor(n/k). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 19 2007
To compute a(n) for huge n (see A180365) in sublinear use a(n) = 3*Sum_{i=1..n3} A006218(n/i) - Sum_{j=1..n3} floor(n/(i*j)) + n3^3, where n3 = floor(n^(1/3)). - Andrew Lelechenko, Apr 15 2011
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} Sum_{i=1..n} floor(n/(i*k)). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Sep 14 2017
G.f.: (1/(1-x)) * Sum_{k>=1} A000005(k) * x^k/(1 - x^k). - Seiichi Manyama, Jul 24 2022
