Explanation	Calculations	Help
$We prime factorize 8! by expressing each integer factor from 1 to 8 in its prime form$	$8! = 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1$
$We combine like prime factors by summing their exponents$	$8! = (2^{3}) \times 7 \times (2 \times 3) \times 5 \times (2^{2}) \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 2^{7} \times 3^{2} \times 5^{1} \times 7^{1}$
$We count the number of positive divisors by adding one to each exponent and multiplying$	$(7 + 1) \times (2 + 1) \times (1 + 1) \times (1 + 1) = 8 \times 3 \times 2 \times 2 = 96$
