We can see that every positive integer of the form p 7 p^{7} , where p p is a prime, has exactly 8 divisors. Since there are an infinite amount of primes, the answer is an infinite amount.

The number of factors of a number x = p1^a1 * p2^a2 * p3^a3..... pn^an where pi is a prime number are (a1+1) (a2+1) .....*(an+1) . So any number of the form p^7 will have 8 factors
