Let D equal the number of distinct divisors or n.

If the nxn matrix is a0 0 to an-1 n-1, then the number of times n appears in the table, for n > 1, is D - 2. (For n = 0 nad n = 1, the number of times n appears in the table is 0.)

If the nxn matrix is a1 1 to an n, then the number of times n appears in the table is D + 2n.
