A cybersecurity protocol requires transmitting a data file of exactly kilobytes. The system must divide this file into equally sized data packets without leaving any remaining data. For the encryption algorithm to function correctly, the size of each packet (in kilobytes) must be an integer that is a multiple of . Based on these conditions, how many different packet sizes are possible?

To find the number of factors of that are multiples of , we first divide by , which gives . The number of possible packet sizes is exactly equal to the number of divisors of . The prime factorization of is . Using the divisor-counting formula (adding to each exponent and multiplying), we find there are valid packet sizes.
