Use the function below. Call with

=NumberFactors(10)

Function NumberFactors(target)

'include target
'then you only need to check 1/2 the numbers
NumberFactors = 1
For i = 1 To target / 2
If target Mod i = 0 Then
NumberFactors = NumberFactors + 1
End If
Next i

End Function

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine the number of common
factors based on given number? For example,
10 is given in cell A1, then the common factors for 10 are 1,2,5,10. There
are 4 numbers for common factors, then I will return 4 in cell B1.
I will try different number in cell A1,
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine the number of common
factors in cell B2?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
