- 97 is prime, so its factorization is just 97 itself.
- Number of divisors = product of (exponent + 1) = (1+1) = 2.
- Sum of divisors = product of (p^(e+1)-1)/(p-1) = 98; subtracting 97 leaves 1 for the proper divisors.

What the prime number checker calculator calculates
Breaks a whole number into its prime factors, tests whether it is prime, and reports the divisor count, divisor sum, all divisors and Euler totient.
How to use this prime number checker calculator
Enter Number. Prime factorization updates as you type. Change one figure at a time to see what drives the result.
How the result is worked out
Open “How this is worked out” beside the result for the step-by-step calculation behind Prime factorization, Written out in full and Distinct prime factors.
The method follows NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, §27.2-27.3 (fundamental theorem of arithmetic; divisor and totient functions), J. M. Pollard, "A Monte Carlo method for factorization", BIT 15 (1975) 331-334; R. P. Brent, "An improved Monte Carlo factorization algorithm", BIT 20 (1980) 176-184 and J. Sorenson and J. Webster, "Strong pseudoprimes to twelve prime bases", Mathematics of Computation 86 (2017) - the 12-base Miller-Rabin test is deterministic below 3.317e24.
